Alina Mores has never had a place to call home. Shuffled from foster home to foster home, surviving abuse, loss, and a childhood she can barely remember, she's learned one rule: trust no one-but protect those you love. Her little sister, Lilla, is the only light in her chaotic world.
Now eighteen, Alina is navigating life on her own terms: boxing for money, making her own rules, and trying to survive in a city that doesn't care about broken girls. But when a mysterious social worker enters her life, offering guidance-or maybe something more-Alina is forced to confront the past she's tried to bury.
Between loyalty, temptation, and the thrill of danger, Alina's world begins to unravel. The streets, the club scene, and the people she crosses paths with promise excitement, power, and chaos-but at what cost?

This is my first book sooo bare with me.
Jesse is barely holding it together after her best friend dies in her arms. Guilt, grief, and therapy that doesn't work - that's her life now. Then comes Bex.
Mysterious. Mean. Covered in bruises no one talks about.
When Jesse's assigned to check in on Bex for a school counseling elective, she doesn't expect to care. But broken girls recognize each other. And soon, Jesse's falling - into late-night hugs, secret meetings spots, and forbidden kisses.
But Bex has secrets she won't let go of. And Jesse has wounds she's still trying to hide.
Can you save someone else when you're still trying to survive yourself?
