Kayleigh "Kay" Clarke is chaos.Gobby, always fighting, always scrapping, and basically running the council estate with her mum working nights, her little sister breathing down her neck, and her big brother trying to boss her around. Life's messy and she's learned to deal with it.
Connor Hayes is trouble too. Broody, annoying, loyal in that infuriating way, and somehow... kinda the only person who sees Kay for who she actually is. They get stuck together for a school project and instantly clash, argue, and yeah, sparks fly.
Problem is, Kay's already with Ryan-her brother's mate, older, full of himself-and he's a total knob. Between family drama, fights at school, and friends stirring shit, Kay and Connor have a lot to deal with before they even figure out what they mean to each other.
Love's messy, loyalty is tested, and the people worth it are always the ones you'd fight for.
Is cheating always meant to be physical?
What if he emotionally betrays you?
But what do you call it when your husband shares his dreams, emotions, victories, and time with another woman...
slowly forgets that you even exist?
