Amara Brooks has survived more than most people her age could imagine. Raised by her loving grandparents after a childhood of abuse and loss, she's smart, kind, and fiercely independent but beneath her oversized hoodies and quiet demeanor, she's carrying scars that few will ever see.

Her best friends, Onyx and Kaili, keep her grounded, protecting her and guiding her through the chaos of senior year. But nothing can prepare her for Dante Hayes. Tall, dark, and magnetic, he carries his own pain and secrets experienced in love and loss yet still searching for something real.

Amara has never known love, and she's not sure she deserves it. Dante has never experienced first love. Together, they're about to collide in ways that will test boundaries, break hearts, and ignite something neither of them expected.

Love. Pain. Secrets. Healing.

Can two broken people find each other, or will the weight of their pasts pull them apart before it even begins?

Ren Chapelle and Ryder Jackson are long time high school friends. They had always been best friends and Ren trusted that both of them would not fall in love. Their mistake was building their trust on an unstable friendship. Every single promise Ryder made came crumbling down from existence. He was trapped, unwillingly, in a one-sided relationship. He gave Ren presents and acted as her personal bodyguard, promising it was to celebrate their friendship, so that when the time came, she would see how loving and protecting he was. Things take a sharp turn for the worse when Ryder's "psychopath" awakes one night for good. He doesn't realize what he has gotten himself into. He claims he doesn't want to wait any longer and Ren can't handle it. She runs to her boyfriend in hopes of finding comfort in him and his crazier than mental patients at an asylum friends. She never knew what her boyfriend really did. All she knew was that he worked odd jobs they were doing great. She didn't think that one day he would decide that they would take an unplanned trip to Las Vegas. Never thought this was just one step closer to someone's very well planned death. Will Ren be stable enough to handle all of this or will she crack?

They performed her last rites. While she was still alive. Akshara Maheshwari was erased from her own family before she could even understand what she had done wrong. Abandoned, forgotten, and declared dead, she disappeared from the world that once called her blood. Years later, she returns - not as a broken child begging for answers, but as AK - a name the world admires, fears, and follows. She doesn't come back for forgiveness. She doesn't ask for love. And she doesn't reveal herself easily. Because some wounds don't need apologies - they need truth, power, and reckoning. As the Maheshwaris celebrate, lie, and protect their secrets, the past claws its way back into the present. A past involving betrayal, silence, a sold child, and a savior who changed her fate. What happens when a family realizes the daughter they buried... is the woman who now controls their empire? And what if revenge isn't her goal - but taking back what was always hers? A story of abandonment, survival, silent revenge, and a girl who learned to smile while planning her return. Read to find out: Will the truth destroy them... or will Akshara destroy the truth first?
