Broken Barrier is a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance set in the elite halls of Blackstone Academy. Olivia Monroe is sharp-tongued, guarded, and not here to make friends-especially not with Ethan Reed, the charming, golden boy athlete who seems to enjoy getting under her skin. But behind Olivia's biting sarcasm is a past she's desperate to keep buried, and Ethan might be the first person who sees through the walls she's built. Sparks fly, tempers flare, and lines blur in this emotionally charged story about trust, trauma, and falling for the one person you swore you'd never let in.
