Born into privilege, Camberley halter has always had everything money can buy—except the attention she needed. Raised in a cold, distant household where appearances matter more than affection, she escapes to college hoping to finally build a life of her own. But freedom isn’t as simple as she imagined. At school, she crosses paths with Jake Lawson—a reckless, infuriating, and impossible-to-ignore presence who quickly becomes a thorn in her flesh. What starts as constant clashes and mutual resentment soon spirals into something far more complicated. As Camberley struggles with the emotional scars of her upbringing and some resolution she had made, Jake seems determined to break through the walls she’s built. But his persistence forces her to confront truths she’s spent her whole life avoiding. Caught between the life she was given and the one she wants to create, Camberley must decide whether to keep ignoring—or finally face the pain, the past, and the unexpected connection that might just change everything.
