Adelaide Carlisle had always been a careful person, never taking unnecessary risks, never being overly rebellious or irresponsible. Preferring chess and cooking over motorcycles and parties. 

Now 22, years after her chess career crashed and burned, her wariness has only gotten worse, now not even wanting to risk the pain of a relationship. 

But when the things she most fears start pushing their way into her life, will she reject them, or learn to take a few more risks, and be okay with the consequences? 

Would she abandon everything she'd ever told herself about love for a cocky chess prodigy with a cowboy hat and carefree charm? Or will she build her walls higher than before and choose safety instead?

His soft hum vibrates through the space between us, the quiet chuckle he lets out against my earlobe sending a shiver down my spine. His voice is low, dangerous, as he leans in closer, his breath warm against my skin. "You can keep lying to yourself," Morgan whispers, his words dripping with challenge. "Pretend that once we leave this school-once we graduate-you'll forget me. Forget the way I make you feel, Alex." His lips ghost along my jawline. "But we both know the truth, don't we? You don't want to forget me." I yank hard on the collar of his shirt, pulling him closer, our lips brushing in a fleeting, electric touch that leaves me breathless. My voice trembles with equal parts anger and desire. "I hate you. So. Fucking. Much." The words hiss out, but my grip on his shirt only tightens. Morgan smirks, his fingers trailing along the hem of my shorts, igniting fire and fury all at once. His dark eyes bore into mine, daring me to deny what's between us. "I know, baby," he murmurs, his grin widening into something wicked. "The feeling's mutual ................ The seemingly mundane confines of detention become the backdrop for an unexpected and tumultuous journey for two high school students, Alexandra and Morgan. Alexandra, an underachieving student, battling the loss of her brother, and Morgan, a rebellious troublemaker, couldn't be more different.

Their interactions are fraught with tension and snarky remarks, each vying for dominance in the small, confined space of the detention room. As they navigate the challenges of detention together, they also confront their own personal demons, discovering that they have more in common than they gathered. But just as they start to let their guards down and open up to each other, secrets from their past threaten to tear them apart. •••••••••••• 𝐃𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈
