Some scars are invisible-hidden behind a smile.

Lily Carter is the new girl at Hartley High, a quiet survivor with a perfect smile that hides everything she's desperate to forget. Haunted by a past that won't stay buried and trapped in a home that feels more like a prison, she's mastered the art of being unnoticed. Until Jace Rivera sees her.

He's the school's untouchable bad boy with sharp eyes, a sharper tongue, and a reputation for trouble. But beneath the danger is something else-something just as broken. He doesn't just notice Lily-he sees her. And he won't look away.

As their worlds collide, Lily finds herself pulled into a relationship she never expected-intense, magnetic, and terrifying in its intimacy. But the closer Jace gets, the harder it is for her to keep hiding the truth. About her past. About her pain. About what it means to finally be seen.

Dark, romantic, and deeply emotional, The Darkness Behind Her Eyes is a story of trauma, trust, and the kind of love that doesn't ask for permission.

In a world full of masks, he's the only one who dares to look beneath hers.

First book 🏒. Starting college was supposed to be Violet Vale's escape plan. New country. New city. New campus. And then there's Ethan Maddox-tattoos inked like warnings, that infuriating smirk, and a six-foot-five presence that fills every room like he owns it. Her brother's best friend. Her worst enemy. And now? Her accidental shadow at Northbridge University. Violet's spent years trading insults and eye-rolls with Ethan, ever since he became an honorary part of her family. But there's nothing brotherly about the way he looks at her now-or the way her pulse reacts when he calls her Vi like it's some kind of challenge. He's cocky. Infuriating. One year older. And the only person on campus who makes her feel anything at all. They're not friends. Definitely not something more. But the line between hate and something far messier is starting to blur. And when hearts get tangled... Someone's going to fall. Warning: May contain profanity and sexual content.
