Stronger Than She Looks

Sixteen-year-old Amara Reyes has one goal: finish high school, stay focused, and become a youth therapist so she can help other teens find the confidence she had to learn the hard way. She keeps her head down, studies, volunteers, and refuses to be pulled into drama.

Then she runs into Jace Morales - popular, sarcastic, and the type who hides his insecurities behind jokes. He calls her a "nerd" to look cool, but Amara's calm refusal to let disrespect slide shakes him. Instead of shrinking back, she looks him straight in the eyes and tells him he can do better.

And for the first time in his life, Jace wants to.

The problem?
Amara refuses to let anyone into her life who does not treat her with honor.
Jace has never had to win someone's respect before - But Amara demands it.
