Love Billy

Billy Thompson has always known exactly who she is to the world around her-the "token Black girl." The one people point to when they want to prove they're inclusive. The one who exists in the background of a predominantly white, elite private school where wealth speaks louder than identity, and belonging is carefully curated.

Adopted into a polished, powerful white family, Billy's life looks perfect from the outside. Her parents are respected, wealthy, and deeply embedded in high society. But beneath their pristine reputation lies something far more dangerous-connections to an underground world Billy knows nothing about.

At school, Billy keeps her head down, used to being overlooked, underestimated, and quietly dismissed.

Until him.

Damien Carter-the school's golden boy, star quarterback, and the kind of person everyone gravitates toward-sees her. Not as a symbol. Not as an afterthought. But as Billy.

What starts as unexpected attention turns into something deeper, something that threatens to pull Billy out of the shadows she's lived in for so long.
