Love In Pieces

In the bustling parish of Clarendon, where the sun blazes just as hot as the gossip, Anastalia Delahaye is a girl who doesn't have time for the usual teenage chaos. With a sharp mind and an even sharper tongue, she's known for being a no-nonsense kind of girl. Ever since her parents' messy divorce shattered her idea of trust, Ana has built walls so high even the most determined climbers would give up. She prefers her own company, burying herself in books or relaxing by the rivers in her community, staying clear of the drama that defines Denbigh High. To her, emotions are messy, and relationships are traps she refuses to fall into.

Then there's Tyler Falconer, the school's star footballer with a crooked smile that has girls swooning from Guinep Tree to Mineral Heights. But beneath Tyler's smooth-talking exterior lies a guy who avoids commitment like it's a red card in a final match. Raised by a single mother who has been in and out of flings, Tyler grew up believing that love only brings complications. He's happy keeping it casual, never sticking around long enough to feel vulnerable.

Despite their differences, their worlds collide in a way neither of them expects. Anastalia wants to ease through her final year drama-free, while Tyler's been warned by his coach to clean up his act if he wants that scholarship to UTECH. When a group project forces them to work together, sparks fly-not the romantic kind at first, but the kind that ignites conflict. Ana finds Tyler's carefree attitude irritating, while he thinks her emotional detachment makes her too cold.

As they spend more time together, they slowly begin to uncover the layers beneath each other's facades. Ana starts to see Tyler isn't as shallow as she thought, and Tyler learns Ana's icy demeanor hides wounds she's afraid to let heal. But with jealous classmates, family pressures, and their own fears holding them back, the question becomes: can two people so guarded learn to trust and lean on each other?
