Things We Never Knew

Keira Heaven has always lived quietly: well-behaved and invisible by choice. Her world is neat, predictable, and safe. She works hard, stays out of trouble, and keeps people at a distance. Especially Luke Kade, the boy who once made her feel like trying too hard was something to be ashamed of.

She thought she knew who he was: loud, reckless, always late, never serious.

But one unexpected semester, a shared seat, and a few broken assumptions start to reveal the truth.

Luke is carrying more than his smile lets on. And Keira is lonelier than she pretends to be.

As walls begin to crack and secrets slip through, they start to see each other differently, not as enemies, not even as opposites, but as people just trying to stay afloat.

Because everyone has their own struggles, quietly hidden beneath the surface.
And sometimes, all it takes is a little understanding to change everything.
