Story Notes

Summary

Nadia Valenti reigns over a high school world she’s grown bored of. As queen of the social scene, she’s untouchable, unflappable, and uninspired—until Jarren Kent walks into her history class. He’s the new kid who isn’t intimidated by her crown, a quiet storm who sees through the games she plays and challenges her to be real for the first time. What begins as a fixation quickly spirals into an obsession. Nadia finds herself drawn to the one person who doesn’t fall at her feet, and for the first time, she’s terrified of the fall. But she isn’t the only one watching. Her rival, Rachel, sees Jarren not just as a prize to be won, but as the perfect weapon to finally tear Nadia down. As the lines between love, hate, and jealousy blur, Nadia is faced with a choice: lower her shield for the one boy who could save her, or break him before he has the chance to break her. Discover the devastating beginning. This is the story of the first glance, the first cruel word, and the tragic love that was doomed from the very start.
