LAQUETA'S DAMAGES

***

Scars? She wears them like hidden badges, each one a chapter of survival.
Nightmares? They replay relentlessly, but she faces them, even when sleep becomes an enemy.
Broken? Maybe. But there's a fierce light within her cracks.

Laqueta Hayes has spent years trapped in a life ruled by fear. Isolation was her shield, a prison that kept her safe from the threats he swore he'd carry out. Her quiet, unusual ways made her an outcast, earning her the dreaded label of "weirdo" in Southern Hill-a place where being different can be a curse. But when her rare, remarkable talent opens a door to the prestigious halls of Southern Hill High, she dares to hope for a fresh start.

Except her path crosses with Atlas Zion King-the golden boy everyone admires. He's charming, untouchable, and fiercely protective of his reputation. To him, 'weirdos' are a threat to everything he's worked for. But as their worlds collide, they uncover secrets and hidden wounds that neither of them expected.

What happens when two people, each with scars that won't heal, get tangled in the threads of each other's lives?
