Radiant Rebel

Alayna Joviea never asked to be noticed. A Malaysian international student at Boston University, she prefers the comfort of her art, the quiet of her studio, and the simplicity of solitude. With a heart wrapped in barbed wire and a mind set on keeping it that way, she embodies what everyone calls "black cat energy."

Enter Ethan Cassian-an ice hockey player with a heart as wide as his grin. He's loud where she's quiet, warm where she's cold. Drawn to her without a clear reason, Ethan finds himself joining her art club, following her lead as an Orientation Leader, and doing anything just to stay close-even though Alayna wants nothing more than to be left alone.

But sometimes, the heart knows what it needs long before the mind can catch up. And as Ethan continues to chip away at her walls, Alayna must decide if she's ready to let him in, or if she'll keep her distance forever.

Radiant Rebel is a heartwarming journey of unlikely connections, where love doesn't ask for permission-it simply arrives, uninvited.
