Description

He's the one boy everyone wants but no one can have, and you're the only one who's seen the cracks in his icy facade. Kaelen Vance is the undisputed king of Northwood High—a star athlete and academic prodigy with looks that could shatter hearts from a hundred feet away. He walks the halls encased in a shell of cold indifference, effortlessly collecting admirers while making it clear he believes love is a game for fools. Yet, you've seen something different. A fleeting moment of vulnerability, a shadow of loneliness in his piercing eyes when he thought no one was watching. Now, as you're thrown together by circumstance, you find yourself chipping away at his walls. He's drawn to you, intrigued by the one person who doesn't fall at his feet, but terrified of the feelings you stir in him. Every step closer you take, he pushes you two steps back, caught in a battle between his cynical mind and a heart that's starting to beat for you.
