Kate Rivers is a girl of few words and many, many anxieties. Despite her striking appearance, intense aura, and MMA skills that make her intimidating at a glance, Kate is a bundle of insecurities and paranoia. She's convinced that people in her new high school despise her and whisper behind her back. Moving to New York was supposed to be a fresh start, but Kate is struggling to break the habits that keep her walled off from the world. The irony is that her classmates see her as untouchable, mysterious, and effortlessly cool, which only makes her more intimidating to approach.
Caught in her own world of assumptions, Kate's life takes an unexpected turn when she catches the attention of two people she'd never imagine herself falling for: Alicia, the popular cheer captain with a complicated home life as the heir to Wilson Enterprises, and an alluring yet enigmatic teacher whose hidden warmth stirs up something new in Kate. But with her paranoia and walls built high, will Kate be able to let love in, or will her fears and insecurities keep her from embracing who she really is?
This story follows Kate as she navigates her anxiety, her complex feelings, and the tangled web of teenage life, love, and friendship in an elite New York high school.
