Harper Novak has never been the kind of girl people forget. At five-eleven with storm-gray eyes and a lifetime of scars from farm work, she's learned how to stand her ground - and how to keep people at a distance. Life in Bethany, Connecticut has never been simple, but Harper knows her place in it: work hard, stay steady, and never let anyone close enough to see the cracks. Jonah is the opposite. Quiet, private, the kind of guy who slips through the halls at school without ever being noticed. He's kept his circle small and his world smaller, content to live on the edges. Until Harper Novak starts showing up in it. What begins as uneasy proximity shifts into something else - stolen conversations, late nights that linger too long, and a slow unraveling of the walls they've both built. But Harper carries more weight than she lets on, and Jonah isn't sure if stepping closer means saving her or losing himself. In a town where everyone thinks they know everyone else, Harper and Jonah are about to find out what it really means to be seen.
