Octavia Bennett is the girl everyone at Newport High can't help but like-sweet, effortlessly pretty, and just starting her junior year with her head down and her heart guarded. She's not the loudest in the room or the most talked-about, but there's something about her that lingers.
Reign McAlester is the senior with the sharp jawline, sharper reputation, and a smirk that could ruin lives. Everyone knows his name-and the stories that come with it. He's the kind of guy who's kissed half the school and walked away like it meant nothing.
So when he sets his sights on Octavia, it doesn't make sense. She's not the typical girl he goes for, and yet he can't seem to stay away.
But one unexpected kiss changes everything.
Now Octavia's caught between the world she's always known and the boy who turns it upside down-with a look, a touch, and secrets he keeps behind that charming smile.
Because sometimes, the ones who act like they don't care... are the ones who fall the hardest
