Burning Hearts | Finnerty Prep ¹

⋆·˚ ༘ EMORY WILSON has always wanted to defy the odds. She refuses to become what people want: a carbon copy of her mother. Armed with the voice of an angel and dreams so big they seem out of reach, she's determined to make a name for herself. No nepotism, no help, just her and a guitar.

She's fire in a world of lumber, destined to burn the world and leave an impact on everyone she meets. Her beliefs are strong, unwavering, even when it comes to people. Especially Levi Brady, the type of guy she rolls her eyes at. They've always clashed, she's fire and he's ice. Two opposites.

But opposites always attract.

LEVI BRADY is a perfectionist. The golden boy of Finnerty Prep and the spitting image of his father. Focused on his studies, he doesn't have time to worry about the people around him. Not when he needs that stamp of validation from school like he needs air.

He's always been adored by everyone. Guys, girls, the whole lot. With the exception of one fiery girl: Emory Wilson. He can't understand why she doesn't like him or even tolerate him. Someone not liking him eats him alive, even if he does a damn good job of disguising it.

But masks only conceal the truth for so long. And it's only a matter of time before the mask slips and feelings get tangled.
