i couldn't help but fall in love again...

Sixteen-year-old Lauren never wanted to move to Fairview.

After arriving in the small town seemingly overnight, she plans to keep her head down, survive her final years of school, and avoid getting close to anyone. Starting over is easier when nobody knows who you are-or the secrets you're trying to leave behind.

Then she meets Bobby.

Popular, kind, and impossible to ignore, Bobby is everything Lauren isn't expecting. For the first time in a long time, she begins to feel safe. But Bobby has secrets of his own. Behind his easy smile and loyal friends lies a home life he desperately tries to hide, and scars that run deeper than anyone realises.

As Lauren and Bobby grow closer, their feelings become impossible to ignore. But the past isn't finished with either of them. Rumours spread through school, old wounds refuse to heal, and the people they've spent years running from are closer than they think.

In a town full of secrets, Lauren and Bobby must decide whether they can trust each other with the truth-or risk losing everything they've found together.

Because sometimes the hardest thing isn't running from your past.

It's letting someone in...
