The heartbeat In Her Darkness

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

Arianna Lee Barker has learned to survive in silence. At home, her father's cruelty is a storm she can't outrun. At school, her shadows follow her-especially in the form of Mateo Verotto. Cold. Popular. Rich. He taunts and teases to hide the way she gets under his skin- the way his heartbeat stumbles when she steps too close. Pushing her away feels safer than admitting the truth. Yet he sees her when no one else does. And she sees him when everyone else tells her not to look. Their pain. Their pasts. Their broken edges. All of it pulls them closer. They crave. They want. They need.
