Overview

Madeline Hayes never planned on falling for Brooke Winters. They were supposed to be enemies, stuck in tutoring sessions neither of them wanted. But one ski trip changed everything, and now Madeline can’t forget the secret kisses, the late-night confessions, or the way Brooke makes her feel like herself for the first time.

Back at school, pretending nothing happened is impossible. Every glance feels like a spark. Every tutoring session feels like borrowed time. And every choice to look away only makes the truth harder to ignore.

Madeline is trying to hold her perfect world together. Brooke is trying not to hope for too much. Because wanting more means risking everything—their reputations, their families, their futures.

As soccer season begins and the cracks in Madeline’s carefully built life start to show, Brooke is forced to face the one question she can’t escape: How long can something this real survive if it has to stay hidden?
