PARALLEL

Isabella Rae Giovanni has always gotten what she wants.
Born into one of New York's most powerful families, Rae grew up surrounded by money, influence, and secrets she was never supposed to uncover.
But there is one thing she refuses to inherit.
Her father's empire.
So Rae goes to UCLA with her childhood best friend, determined to build a life that has nothing to do with the Giovanni name.
Then she meets Canaan Stirling.
Beautiful. Unbothered. Mysterious.
The captain of the basketball team who somehow dresses like he's worth millions, yet nobody seems to know where his money-or his secrets-come from.
From the moment they meet, they clash.
Rae can't understand why he seems so determined not to notice her.
And Stirling has his own reasons for keeping his distance.
Because while Rae is busy trying to escape her family's darkness, someone is bringing it straight to her.
Threats begin.
Then the attacks.
And every time Rae finds herself in danger, Canaan Stirling is there.
She doesn't know why he keeps saving her.
He doesn't know how long he can keep pretending he doesn't care.
But Rae has forgotten something.
Some people don't disappear.
Some come back.
Some come back for revenge.
And sometimes, the person you fall in love with is connected to the past you were forced to bury.
Two lives.
Two worlds.
One forgotten truth.
And when the past collides with the present, nothing-and no one-will remain the same.
PARALLEL.
