Before The Storm

Maddy Kensington has it all: the perfect blonde hair, the cheerleading captain title, and a reputation as the queen bee of Crestwood High. But behind the flawless smile and the icy exterior, she's hiding secrets that no one could ever guess. Her picture-perfect life? It's just a mask to keep everyone from seeing the cracks underneath.

When the Montgomery brothers-brooding Cole and charming Jamie-move to town, they turn Maddy's world upside down. Cole is everything Maddy should avoid. Dark, brooding, and completely uninterested in her games. But there's something about the way he looks at her-as if he can see right through the facade-that sends her spinning. He's the first guy who doesn't fall at her feet, the first to challenge her in ways she never expected.

With Cole's mysterious past and his all-consuming gaze, Maddy finds herself drawn to him, despite everything.

But then there's Jamie-the golden boy who's sweet and attentive, offering her a kindness she's never known. With his easy smiles and comforting presence, Jamie makes Maddy feel like she can finally be herself again.

Two brothers. One girl with a broken past. And a dangerous love triangle that threatens to destroy everything.

Maddy never planned to fall for either of them, but now she's caught between Cole's raw intensity and Jamie's gentle touch. With secrets on all sides and loyalties tested, Maddy has to make an impossible choice. Will she choose the boy who challenges her to be brave, or the one who makes her feel safe?
