Zariah didn't want to be seen.
She transferred to Elkbridge to disappear quietly, to stay ahead of the shadows in her head and find peace on her own terms. But then Roen Silvain-grumpy, quiet, and way too observant-sees right through her.
He doesn't talk much. Doesn't try.

For fans of protective grumpy x warm sunshiney girls, soft obsession, and mental health wrapped in slow unraveling chaos-this is a college romance that feels like getting too close to something you're not sure you're ready for.

The Exception
He hates everyone. I just happen to be the exception... and the problem. He's the cold, untouchable boy everyone fears - and I'm the only one he ever talks to. No one knows why. They whisper about it in the hallways, staring when he walks by and doesn't bother looking at anyone-except me. He hates everyone. Teachers, classmates, the cafeteria lady-everyone. Except me. Some say I'm brave for not being scared of him. Others think I'm crazy. Honestly? They're both probably right. Maybe he talks to me because I once told him his death stare needed work. Or maybe it's because I'm the only one who argues back when he's being impossible. Now everyone's asking the same question: Why does the monster only listen to the girl who teases him? And if I'm being honest... I'm not sure if I've tamed him- or if I've just become his favorite person to ruin the world for.
