Prequel to Back To You
Book 1 to D&T: High School Years trilogy
At Woodenbridge High, everyone seems born to be seen... except Daniel Carrington.
A quiet transfer student with a notebook full of stories and a lifetime of learned invisibility, Daniel just wants to survive sophomore year without drawing attention. He's used to blending into the background, finding safety in silence, and letting his words live only on the page.
But there's Tyler Harper...
Confident, charming, and effortlessly popular, Tyler lights up every room he enters and, for reasons Daniel doesn't understand or trust, he keeps choosing Daniel. What Tyler offers feels like kindness, but to Daniel, kindness has always come with a catch.
As their connection deepens through quiet moments, shared classes, and unexpected understanding, Daniel is forced to face a terrifying truth: being seen means risking rejection, heartbreak, and the possibility of losing the one place he's always felt safe.
As walls come down and feelings grow harder to ignore, both boys must decide whether staying protected is worth the loneliness it brings or if taking a chance on each other might be worth everything.
