For two years, Freya Jones was thousands of miles away, chasing her dream at one of London's top performing arts schools while her parents temporarily relocated overseas for her dad's job.
Now she's back in Los Angeles.
Back with her family.
Back with her friends.
Back with the boy she's never stopped calling.
But coming home isn't as simple as she imagined.
No one at school remembers Julian Jones has a little sister, and the moment Freya starts walking the halls with her brother and his senior friends, the whispers begin. To everyone else, she's just the new girl hanging around the most popular guys on campus-especially Malachi Barton, the football star with a party-boy reputation and a new girl chasing after him every week.
What they don't know is that Freya and Malachi's story didn't start this year.
It started long before the rumors.
Long before the reputation.
Long before either of them realized friendship wasn't the only thing keeping them close.
As football season, dance rehearsals, family dinners, songwriting sessions, and late-night phone calls fill their days, Freya quickly learns that coming home means facing people who've already decided who she is.
The problem?
They don't know her.
They don't know him.
And they definitely don't know the truth.
Because sometimes the people who think they know your story... couldn't be more wrong.
