Until It Hurts

Mila is sharp, guarded, and just wants to survive her last year at Crestwood Academy - a world of privilege and expectations she's never known.

At home, she fights to keep the pain hidden, desperate not to be defined by her broken past.

Killian Ward seems to have it all - charm, status, and a perfect life on the surface.

But behind his confident smile, he hides struggles no one sees.

From the moment they meet, their worlds collide - her silence clashing with his teasing, their secrets threatening to unravel them both.

What starts as icy stares and sharp words slowly becomes a dangerous, slow-burning pull neither expected.

He's the kind of boy she swore she'd never fall for.

And she might be the only one who can break through his walls.

Because sometimes, the deepest wounds are the ones we try hardest to hide.
