He's the storm I swore I'd never chase.
When 18-year-old Ivy Monroe leaves her small town to start fresh at Brighton University, all she wants is peace, quiet, and a chance to heal from a past no one knows.
Then comes Knox Carter - tattooed, cocky, emotionally unavailable. Everything Ivy promised herself she'd never fall for.
But Knox has a rule: never fall in love. And Ivy's about to be his exception.
Their chemistry is volcanic. Their fights, explosive. But secrets don't stay buried, and the deeper Ivy falls, the closer she gets to the one thing she can't face:
The truth about him... and herself.
This is not a love story. This is a breakdown.
