Description

He threw your books in your face and walked away laughing, shattering your heart and your secret year-long relationship in a single, cruel moment. Aiden is the king of Northgate High, a star athlete with a bad-boy reputation and a circle of ruthless friends. You're his opposite: quiet, studious, and perfectly happy in your own small world. For almost a year, your love was a secret oasis, a place where he could shed his arrogant persona and just be himself. He swore he'd protect you, but when his friends cornered him for daring to help you, he chose his status over you. Now, consumed by a guilt so sharp it's suffocating, Aiden is desperate to undo the damage. But after such a public and brutal betrayal, can you ever look at him the same way again, let alone trust him with your heart?
