Diya Anthony is a bona fide chronic overachiever. The top 10% of her class at an elite preparatory academy, she lives and breathes competition. Ambition is in her blood and she's fairly certain she knew how to spell "success" before she figured out the letters that formed her own name. With hardly a free hour to spare, Dee is not unfamiliar with struggle and hard work. She's ready to confront any challenge head on and climb the hierarchy by any means necessary.
Beckett Ashwood is the adopted son of the wealthiest white family in town. Smart, charismatic, and talented, Beck's future is only a step away from a reality and he can't deny how fortunate he has been. The catch: Beck is the adopted Black son of the wealthiest white family in town. In trying to come to terms with his roots and discover his purpose, Beckett must reconcile his past with his present in order to understand what the future will hold for him.
But when the bonds that hold Diya's family together are tested and Beckett's beloved community is shaken by social upheaval, they both must learn what it means to love and belong in the midst of adversity. And above all, with the lives they knew crumbling around them, how to carry on.
