Eastwood Academy: Jealous Love

Bethany Clarke has lived two very different lives at Eastwood Academy. Her first two years were defined by cruelty and isolation. The relentless bullying she endured made survival feel like a daily victory.

Once the school's favorite target, she's now its untouchable queen, polished to perfection and admired by everyone who once looked down on her. But the crown came at a cost, and beneath the carefully crafted image is the same girl who learned too early that fitting in often means losing yourself. Reinventing herself earned her status, admiration, and a coveted place among Eastwood's elite, but it didn't bring the one thing she hoped it would: happiness.

Now she's everything Eastwood respects. Desired. Envied by all. Untouchable. At least on the surface.

Gavin Moran has always existed comfortably in the middle. Neither popular nor invisible, he's managed to carve out a quiet, steady place at a school where wealth and reputation rule everything. Quiet, grounded, and unknowingly dangerous to Beth's carefully guarded heart, he's completely unaware that Beth has been hopelessly in love with him since freshman year-a secret she's never dared confess to anyone.

When their senior year throws them together on a school committee, the walls Beth built start to crack. Gavin's proximity pulls at truths Beth has spent years hiding, and the way his gaze lingers makes her wonder if he sees past the mask-sees the scared, vulnerable side of her and isn't afraid of it.

Just as Beth starts to believe she might finally have a chance with Gavin, a new girl arrives-beautiful, sweet, just his type.

With time running out and her carefully constructed world starting to fracture, Beth must decide if she's brave enough to risk rejection, exposure, and heartbreak in the name of love. Because wanting Gavin means surrendering control-and loving him might cost her everything she's fought to become.
