Without Her

Celia Selvini thought the hardest part of her senior year would be leaving home for college. But when her mother is killed in a sudden accident, her world shatters. Grief swallows everything-family dinners, late-night texts with her best friend, even the streets she's walked her whole life feel like they belong to someone else.

Then there's Miles Hudson-her best friend's brother, the boy who always rolled his eyes at her, the boy she swore she'd never fall for. In the weeks after the funeral, Miles is the one who stays. He's the one holding her together when she can't breathe, when even her reflection feels like a stranger's. Against every rule she thought she had, they fall into something too real to ignore.

But love doesn't erase grief-and it doesn't stop secrets from unraveling. Sylvia, her best friend, returns home with her own heartbreak. Miles makes a choice that could change everything between them. And Celia... Celia carries the one secret neither of them are ready for.

Three people. Three confessions. One winter night that could break them-or bind them forever.
