Ollie doesn't believe in love. She's spent a lifetime collecting scars, each one a painful reminder of why letting anyone close is a risk she can't afford. Her solution? Keep her distance, keep her walls high, and if anyone dares to get too close, she'll make sure they regret it.
Enter Noah-charming, cocky, and exactly the kind of trouble she doesn't need. Yet, despite every warning she throws his way, he won't back off. And, against her better judgment, she finds herself starting to like it-more than she'd ever admit.
He pushes her buttons, then discovers new ones she didn't even know she had. And despite her best efforts to push him away, he's falling for her-hard. Every time she tries to tear him down, he picks himself up, only to fall deeper. He doesn't know how to stop chasing her, and she doesn't know how to stop running.
They're both caught in a dangerous game neither of them is ready to play, but neither of them can walk away from. As the tension builds, they begin to realize that the mess they're creating is nothing compared to the truth-that maybe they need each other just to feel alive.
