"I could feel his stare burning through my dress, straight into my skin. My thoughts blurred, my body weak, as Jace practically carried me as we danced. I couldn't feel Jace in this moment-all I could feel was him there, watching."
Seventeen-year-old Eliza Bellerose moves to London with her mother, leaving behind the wreckage of her father's drunken cruelty in America. Starting over is harder than she imagined; new city, new school, and the weight of secrets she's not ready to share. Luckily, she has Jace, her best friend, who steadies her in the chaos.
But when her slipping grades force her mother to hire a tutor, everything changes. Harry Styles is older, brilliant, and far too intense for Eliza to ignore. What begins as lessons filled with books and numbers soon becomes something she never expected-late-night confessions, stolen glances, and emotions that blur every line she thought she knew.
Now Eliza is caught between the boy who has always been there for her and the man who makes her question everything. Her heart is at war; between loyalty and longing, safety and desire.
In which an ambitious, but lonely heart meets her match in the equally ambitious and lonely heart of none other than famous record label manager Harry Styles, who she tries so hard not to fall for.
