Nova Rossi doesn't want to fall in love.
Not after everything she's been through.
At sixteen, she carries the weight of a loss no one sees, lives in a neighborhood where pain stays quiet, and goes to a school where she's labeled as the angry one, the unstable one, the problem. But that's okay - she's learned to live like that: fists up, heart locked.

Greyson Lombardi has the world at his feet, but he doesn't trust a soul. Son of a powerful family, he hides behind a charming smile and knows how to keep his fears buried deep.
Until he meets Nova.
And hates her.
Or at least tries to.

What starts as hate turns into an unexpected friendship.
And, eventually, a feeling neither of them wanted to feel.

Because she's scared to love.
And he's scared to be loved.

"He didn't ask for permission. He just walked in, laughed, called me 'angry', and stayed."
- Nova Rossi, becoming what she feared the most: in love.
