The bad boy next door
"She promised herself she wouldn't fall for him - the boy with secrets in his eyes and sins on his hands. But promises were made to be broken."

So when her family moves to a new neighborhood, she promises herself this time will be different. A fresh start. A chance to belong. But new beginnings are never as simple as they seem. Between the pressure of fitting in and the unfamiliar faces at her town, Evelyn's world feels like a maze she can't quite navigate.

But the more time she spends around him, the more she sees a side of him that no one else does - a side that makes her heart race and her guard crumble. Soon, she's caught between the girl she's always been and the girl she's becoming - between safety and danger, right and wrong, heart and reason. Because some people come into your life to teach you lessons. And others? They change you forever.
