Avery Collins has her life exactly the way she likes it — organised, safe, and on track. Then a beat-up black truck pulls into the empty house next door, and Zane Holloway steps out: tattooed, unreadable, and completely at odds with everything she's planned for herself.
Forced together for a school project, Avery starts to see what no one else bothers to look for — the boy reading poetry alone in the library, the son driving his sick mother to the hospital at midnight, the person quietly holding everything together while falling apart inside.
Falling for trouble was never the plan. But some people are worth every risk.
