With scouts watching his every move and his name trending on social media, Jeremiah seems to have it all. But behind the fame is a seventeen-year-old trying to breathe through the pressure, expectations, and the haunting feeling that no one truly knows him.
Aurora Belle is the new girl with fire in her eyes and a notebook full of poetry. She's lived a hundred lives in her head, but this one...this small-town reality, is the one she can't seem to escape. She's focused, guarded, and uninterested in the high school social scene, especially the overhyped athletes who think they own the halls.

Aurora begins to see the boy beneath the jersey, and Jeremiah starts to believe he could be more than his highlight reel. But with rumors, jealousy, and their own fears getting in the way, they'll have to fight through the noise to find something real.
