Aria Blake had three rules: stay invisible, avoid drama, and never-under any circumstances-fall for a popular guy.
Then Liam Carter happened.
Aria preferred charcoal over crowds, headphones over conversations, and the quiet comfort of Northbridge College's ivy-covered library. Her world was a quiet sketchbook of shadows and lines-until a spilled iced mocha, a sarcastic grin, and one charity event turned her world into something far messier... and far more colorful.
Liam was everything she hated: confident, loud, athletic, and always surrounded by a fan club of admirers. But what Aria didn't expect was the pain behind his laugh, the vulnerability in his silence, or the warmth in the glances he pretended not to give her.
They were oil and water. Fire and ice. Art and muscle.
And yet, the more time they were forced to spend together-planning a charity event neither wanted to join-the more they realized they weren't so different after all. Aria saw through Liam's perfect-boy act. Liam found peace in Aria's storms.
But love never blooms without scars.
Secrets unravel. Trust breaks. And when the biggest truth comes to light-one that could destroy both of them-Aria must decide if she'll run from her feelings... or fight for the one person who made her feel seen.
Because sometimes love doesn't arrive wrapped in roses.
Sometimes, it's beneath the ivy sky, hidden in a spilled coffee and an unexpected hello.
