Cracks Beneath

(Lucky Academy Series #1)

Ashleigh Silvestre has spent her entire life running a race she never agreed to. Groomed to excel, molded to be the greatest, she grew up inside an invisible prison built from pressure, expectations, and the constant fear of being a disappointment. Childhood joy was replaced with academic medals; freedom was replaced with routines and rules. Fun was a luxury she couldn't afford.

Just when she thinks she's learned how to survive the weight on her shoulders, Andrei Javier barges into her carefully controlled world. Loud, unpredictable, and impossible to ignore.

He saw not the flawless honor student, but the girl with fractures hiding behind carefully constructed walls. He held her together... and somehow, he also makes the cracks beneath her surface spread even wider. Because Andrei is both comfort and chaos.

As their worlds collide, Ashleigh is forced to confront the terrifying truth that loving someone might require breaking apart first.
