A school where fists fly faster than rumors... and love hits even harder.
Levi isn't just the new guy he's a fighter. Quiet, sharp-eyed, and strong enough to drop a bully in one move. But all he really wants is peace.
Too bad Hillcrest High has other plans.
With rival cliques, dangerous secrets, and a school full of wild personalities, Levi quickly finds himself in the middle of more than just fights. There's Mia sweet, clever, and hiding something. Then there's Freya bold, fiery, and always watching. One wants to heal him. The other wants to challenge him.
As drama, romance, confusion, and danger explode around him, Levi must navigate friendships, betrayal, a growing love triangle, and the mystery hiding behind the school walls.
At Hillcrest, survival means more than staying alive. It means staying sane.
One summer. Two Neighbours. A closed-off first-round NFL Draft Pick. A bubbly college girl. A small town beach town that makes it impossible to ignore each other. What could possibly happen?
Things didn't go as planned when Parker McIntosh and the world were shocked when he was drafted to come back to his home state of New York to play football. Especially when he rather be anywhere else other than where he grew up. Especially since for the first time in a while someone's caught his attention and NOT in a good way.
Things don't go as planned when Daisy Ledger finds out the super hot but rude assh*le from a run-in at her local supermarket is her next-door neighbour. It gets even worse when it seems like her perfect summer is getting away from her, and her old friends are not the same as they were.
Things are never seamless, nor go by the planned route.
