Kaiser Hayes, once the golden boy of Ridgeview High's soccer team, is now sidelined by injury and bitterness. But when their worlds collide, so does something else: fire. As Danica begins to rebuild the pieces of her broken world - new friends, stolen kisses, whispered confessions in the dark - a phone call from the past threatens to unravel everything. Her biological father, powerful and dangerous, wants something from her... and he won't take no for an answer. This was never supposed to feel like home. But maybe home isn't a place. Maybe it's a person. A heartfelt, slow-burn romance with secrets, scars, and the kind of love that demands to be fought for.Complete
