And yet, here you are

Alora Brinston never expected much when she transferred to Blackwood Academy-just another rich, old-money school with its polished halls and perfect reputations. But behind the tailored uniforms and marble floors, secrets lurk in the shadows, and no one is more guarded than Kade Stellsen.

Tattooed, brooding, and effortlessly dangerous, Kade rules the football field and the halls with equal dominance. He's the kind of guy Alora knows she should stay away from-cocky, emotionally unavailable, and carrying more baggage than he lets on. But when stolen glances turn into lingering touches and late-night conversations, she finds herself caught in something she can't control.

Their relationship is anything but simple. Between ice-cold rivalries, whispered secrets, and the constant pressure of their world, they both struggle with scars from their pasts. And Kade? He's never been in a real relationship. Neither has Alora. But as the lines blur and feelings grow deeper, she wonders-will he ever be ready to make them official, or is she just another temporary distraction in his chaotic world?

Slow burn, stolen moments, and undeniable tension... Sometimes love isn't just a fairytale-it's a fight.

Enemies to lovers. Slow burn. Dark romance. Boarding school drama.
