💔 The Bane of the Basketball Bully
Welcome to Shoreline High - where jocks rule the courts, nerds rule the grades, and everyone else is just trying to survive the social scoreboard.
Tiffany O'Connor thought transferring schools would be a fresh start. Instead, she finds herself torn between two boys who couldn't be more different.
Kiritopa, the delicious but infuriatingly cocky Māori basketballer whose loyalty and heart are impossible to ignore - and Abel, the handsome, blonde, brilliant academic with a temper that ranks higher than his grades and whose control runs deeper than affection ever should.
When a beach party ends in blood and heartbreak, Tiffany's world begins to unravel. Secrets come to light, loyalties are tested and the line between protection and obsession blurs dangerously thin.
As Abel's grip tightens and Kiri's protectiveness grows, Tiffany must find the strength to reclaim her voice - before it's stolen from her completely.
🏀 A story of love, friendship, control, and courage - because sometimes surviving high school isn't about fitting in... It's about fighting back.
