Indie Adelaide Vega has always been easy to love. At least, that's what people think. They fall for her laugh. Her confidence. The way she makes them feel like they matter more than anyone else in the room. What they don't see is how quickly she changes. How carefully she listens. How she becomes exactly who she needs to be... just to be chosen. With Asher Knox, she is chaos-electric, reckless, impossible to forget. With Elliot Hayes, she is calm-softer, steadier, almost like peace. And with Zane Callow, she is everything. Every version. Every contradiction. Every flaw. And he still stays. Until he doesn't. Three boys. Three versions of her. And one truth she keeps avoiding: If you have to become someone else to be loved... was it ever really you they wanted?
