BLURB She wasn’t looking for love. He was hiding from it. But secrets have a way of finding the light. Lyra Vale enters Belcliff College hoping for a quiet start. She’s never been the girl to chase romance or crave attention but one encounter changes everything. A brief moment. A boy she wasn't supposed to see again. And a silent pull that refuses to go away. Jace Creed was once a basketball prodigy — until a scandal wiped him from the spotlight. Now, he’s just trying to exist under the radar. But when Lyra starts showing up at games, quietly watching, never asking for anything… he starts to notice. And remembering becomes dangerous. As friendships shift and truths unravel, Lyra finds herself caught between what she believes and what she’s afraid to know. And the deeper she falls, the more the past claws its way back — with people she trusts hiding secrets that could destroy everything. A story of quiet beginnings, deep betrayals, and the kind of love that comes when you least expect it — but may cost everything to keep.
