Hallie Delos Santos was seventeen years old when she fled the small town of Bluehaven without looking back. Five years later, she returns. Being in her own skin isn’t easy, and walking through the halls of Bluehaven High once again will test her limits. Hallie refuses to fall, especially when the woodwork teacher takes an interest in her. Daniel Miller is older, stronger, and obsessed with making her talk. They should be complete opposites, but against all odds, their conversations last hours and the chemistry is undeniable. Hallie has a secret, but so does Daniel. He’s the woodwork teacher, and she’s the costume designer. He’s smiles, and she’s the silence. He’s determined, and she’s his.
