The Ballerina and the Fighter

~Sofia~
Sofia has always been the picture of perfection-sweet, shy, and effortlessly kind. Her life seems charmed: a loving mother, good grades, and a quiet sense of contentment. But one thing has never made sense to her. Why does Ramon, the brooding, rebellious boy next door, seem to go out of his way to avoid her? They've grown up side by side, their families practically intertwined, yet he treats her like a stranger. As their paths cross more than ever, Sofia starts to wonder if there's more behind Ramon's coldness than she ever imagined-and maybe, just maybe, he's not as indifferent as he seems.

~Ramon~
Ramon has always been the rebellious one-tattoos, piercings, and a reputation to match. With a home full of tension and a past he'd rather forget, he's built walls no one gets through. Especially not Sofia, the girl next door with the sweet smile and perfect life. At least, that's what he thought. He was sure he couldn't stand her... until he couldn't stop thinking about her. But getting close to Sofia means letting his guard down-and when secrets unravel, he's not the only one exposed. As he uncovers the pain behind her smile, and she sees the truth behind his anger, they both realize love might not heal everything... but it just might be the start.
