Lena Miller is stuck in a gang against her own will.
With no way to escape, she sighs and accepts the fact that her life sucks. She sticks up her chin, holds her head up high and walks into the gates of Sunny Coast High School, leaving behind the dark trail that follows her the second she steps past the gates.
Isolating herself from everyone around her, worried that they will get caught up in her dangerous background, Lena walks through school protecting the students from her destructive aura, knowing that she'll only ruin their lives.
But what if someone, like Ryder Everhart, dismisses her desperate pleas for him to stay away from her and instead persists to get to know her, blind to the reason behind her actions.
Will she give in to the temptation of learning what happiness and joy feels like? And if so, will she be able to protect him from her dark secrets forever? Or will he crumble up her wall so far that he finds out for himself...

Lena and Vanessa had been inseparable since kindergarten. They were the kind of best friends who knew each other's secrets before they were spoken, who swore that nothing-no one-would ever come between them. But high school had a way of testing even the strongest bonds. It started with Aaron. Vanessa's boyfriend. The boy Lena had never meant to fall for. But feelings didn't care about friendship pacts or unspoken rules. They crept in quietly, filling the spaces she tried to keep locked. And Vanessa, sharp as ever, noticed.

Tempted Heart | Our Heart's 1
Lena Rose has always been the perfect daughter. Sharp, graceful, obedient-raised in a world where expectations are everything and emotions are a luxury she can't afford. But beneath the surface of flawless grades and carefully arranged smiles, Lena is unraveling. Torn between who she is and who she's supposed to be, she finds herself caught in a quiet war - between the boy her heart can't forget and the future her family demands. Evander Gray is the boy with a past no one dares to ask about-quiet eyes that see too much, hands that carry more grief than they should, and a heart he's learned to hide behind half-smiles and guarded silences. The boy everybody wants but knows nothing about the real him-of the life he's lived. He never meant to fall for her. Not her-not the girl who was just supposed to be his tutor. But some connections don't ask for permission. Some hearts break quietly. Others burn their way back to life. She finds herself trapped in lies, hate, desire, and trapped in a life that doesn't feel like hers. But the past has a way of returning.
