Michaela thought high school was the hardest battle she'd ever face - but college brings challenges she never saw coming.
Between applications, scholarships, and the excitement of starting fresh with her closest friends, Michaela finally feels like her scars don't define her anymore. Her wealthy aunt and grandmother pull her into a glamorous new world - spring break trips, lavish parties, and opportunities most people only dream of. For the first time, she dares to believe that her life might finally be sweet.
But the past refuses to stay buried.
One night, the news flashes across every screen: Michaela's father has been arrested for a shocking crime, his name and face splattered across the headlines. The story reopens old wounds she's tried so hard to close - and brings a surprise family visit that changes everything she thought she knew.
And just when she needs peace the most, Skylar returns. Humiliated, bitter, and more dangerous than ever, she's determined to tear Michaela down - no matter the cost.
New friendships will be tested. Old enemies will rise. And Michaela will learn that sometimes, the fire you thought you escaped is only the beginning.
Because in college, the stakes are higher... and the flames burn brighter.
