In the heart of a divided world, two worlds collide-one of privilege and wealth, the other of struggle and survival.
Elena Rodriguez is a bright, beautiful girl who has everything she could ever want. As a member of the powerful Rodriguez family, she lives in a lavish mansion in New York, a part of town where money flows freely. But behind her polished exterior, 17-year-old, Elena feels trapped in a world of expectations. Where appearances matter more than anything, and real connection seems out of reach.
Henry Burton, on the other hand, lives in London-a forgotten part of town where survival is a daily battle. The streets are filled with thief's, criminal, gangsters, kids who scrape by any way they can. Henry, a determined and resourceful 18-year-old, spends his days working odd jobs and stealing just to make ends meet. His life is a constant struggle for dignity and basic needs.
Their worlds couldn't be more different, until one fateful encounter shatters the walls that divide them.
When Elena accidentally crosses paths with Henry, she finds herself caught in a situation that exposes her to a harsh reality she's never known. Where, the streets that she thought were filled with life and beauty, is exposed with danger and uncertainty, and people are defined not by their names or wealth, but by their ability to survive.
Elena meets Henry, a boy whose resilience and intelligence spark something within her-something she's been longing for: authenticity.
Their connection is instant, intense-and forbidden.
But as their relationship grows, so does the pressure from society. The division between the two becomes impossible to ignore, and their relationship is put to the ultimate test. Can two people from such different worlds ever truly understand each other? And, if they do, is their connection strong enough to survive the harsh realities of a world that thrives on division?
(After High Series # 1) Saffron Rose Borromeo appears to have it all-top grades, family connections, and a guaranteed future in law. But appearances can be deceiving.
Maximiliano Jose Delgado is her academic equal and complete opposite. Brilliant, intense, and fiercely independent, he seems to see right through her polished facade-and he clearly doesn't like what he sees.
From their first day at the SCA- College of Law, they're locked in a rivalry that goes beyond textbooks and test scores. It's personal. It's consuming. And neither understands why the other brings out such strong reactions.
But when good intentions collide with wounded pride, their carefully constructed worlds begin to crumble. Some secrets destroy trust. Some lies are meant to help.
And sometimes, the person you're trying to save is the last person who wants your rescue.
