broken nights and stolen hearts

sixteen-year-old Tessa Levine has always felt like an outsider in her own life. Trapped in a suffocating small town with a destructive home life, she finds her only solace in sneaking out at night, seeking the thrill of freedom and the comfort of a drink. The nights are her escape, the stars her only confidants-until she meets him.

Luke Hayes is kind-hearted and understanding, grappling with his own set of struggles that are hidden beneath his calm exterior. One fateful evening, under the sheltering branches of an oak tree, their worlds collide. Drawn together by a shared sense of isolation, their connection is immediate and almost as if they'd known each other for years.

As Dylan introduces Lily to his close-knit group of friends, she begins to experience a sense of belonging she never thought possible. These midnight meeting become the starting point of an unexpected journey, where friendship and love blossom amidst shared secrets and hidden pain.
