Red Over White

Linnea Driscoll knows what it's like to be watched.
By her family. By her town. By the future that keeps being decided for her.
When her engagement to Luke Brioulette is pushed into the public eye sooner than planned, what was meant to be a private promise becomes a performance. Luke comes from a family that understands power, silence, and control; Linnea comes from one that believes in appearances. Together, they are expected to be effortless.
They are not.
As pressure tightens and boundaries blur, something shifts from uncomfortable to unmistakably wrong. Messages go unanswered. Doors close where they once stood open. And in the quiet places-treehouses, bedrooms, late-night calls-fear begins to seep in.This is a story about love under scrutiny, about autonomy in a world that confuses protection with possession, and about what happens when being seen becomes a threat.
Because some promises are made in private.
And some eyes never look away.
