At Crestview Prep, secrets wear designer shoes and smiles come with hidden costs.
Maya Chen is top of her class, queen of self-control, and permanently unimpressed. A scholarship student juggling diner shifts and Ivy League dreams, she's got no time for distractions-especially ones that chew gum too loud and take nothing seriously.
Enter Reed Carrington.
Rich, reckless, and maddeningly charming, Reed is everything Maya doesn't need-wrapped in privilege, attitude, and a smirk that's gotten him out of more trouble than it should.
They went to the same school, but not the same world.
Still, when opposites collide in the chaos of Crestview's hallways, something unexpected cracks through the surface.
Not love at first sight.
Not even like.
But something real.
This isn't a perfect romance. It's the kind that scrapes, stings, and seeps through the cracks-like honey over fault lines.
