34 parts Complete MatureSeventeen-year-old Lena Pierce has always lived in the background-quiet, observant, and invisible by choice. A straight-A student with dreams of attending Howard University, she's spent most of her life coloring inside the lines, hiding her heart behind sketchbooks and silence. Haunted by the absence of her father and the pressure to make her mother proud, Lena's world is small, safe, and predictable.
Until Rylan Hayes moves in next door.
Tattooed, brooding, and always surrounded by smoke, Rylan is everything Lena isn't. A mystery wrapped in shadows, he becomes her silent summer obsession-watched only from behind the glass of her bedroom window. But when school starts and he suddenly appears in her high school hallways, Rylan isn't content staying a stranger. He sees her. Really sees her. And he isn't afraid to push past the walls she's spent years building.
As their worlds begin to collide-through late-night conversations, shared secrets, and reckless firsts-Lena must confront the girl she is and the one she's afraid to become. But falling for Rylan comes with risks. Whispers follow them through the halls. Friends become strangers. And the more Lena opens her heart, the more she fears losing everything she's worked for-including herself.
