Luca never even saw them.
In a quiet town where everyone knows everyone, seventeen-year-old Leila volunteers at the local animal shelter and keeps her head down.

Eighteen, tatted, and fresh off a community service sentence, Luca's the guy parents warn their daughters about - especially hers.
He's got a record.
Her brother helped put him there.
They're not supposed to speak.
But between barking dogs, broken fences, and stolen glances, Leila starts to wonder if rules are meant to be broken...
