BASED OFF OF CHLOE WALSH SERIES BOYS OF TOMMEN, THIS IS INSPIRATION
Neveah Miller was always the best at hide and seek
In Willowridge, North Carolina, everyone knows everyone, but no one really knows her. She moves through life quietly, keeping her head down, hiding the truth about what waits for her at home. She's learned the hard way that silence is safer than being seen.
Colton Johnson was never meant to notice her.
As Willowridge High's golden boy and star football player, Colton has always played his role perfectly. Strong. Untouchable. In control. But beneath the surface, he's not as unbreakable as everyone believes. And when he starts noticing the girl who never speaks, never asks for help, and never lets anyone close, he can't seem to look away.
He doesn't push her.
He doesn't force his way in.
He just stays steady, patient, and quietly protective.
But some damage doesn't stay hidden forever.
And when Neveah reaches her breaking point, it threatens to destroy the fragile safety she's built around herself and the one person who refuses to let her disappear.
In a town built on appearances, two broken teenagers learn that sometimes the strongest thing you can do... is let someone see you.
