BOOK 2 IN THE TANGLED HEARTS SERIES
can be read as a stand-alone but characters from the first book will be mentioned!
Darian Aetos has spent years hiding his feelings for Ximena Instaves, his calm and mysterious friend. Though he's known her since they were kids, she's always seen him as the dependable guy, the one she can turn to but never quite see in a romantic light. For Darian, loving Ximena feels like standing in the shadows-close enough to bask in her light but never quite stepping into her line of sight.
As their senior year unfolds, their once-steady friendship is tested when Taylor Cheng, a charming and flirty new student, takes an interest in Darian. For the first time, Ximena feels something she's never felt before: jealousy. But Ximena's own hesitation about love, shaped by her guarded nature and painful family secrets, keeps her from seeing Darian as more than just a friend.
Through moments of closeness, misunderstandings, and emotional revelations, Darian and Ximena must confront the truth about what they mean to each other. Will Darian's unrequited love remain a secret forever, or will Ximena realize that her perfect match has been standing beside her all along?
