She's there to teach him. Not to fall for him.
My parents died in a storm two weeks ago.
Now I'm living with my estranged aunt, who cut my mom out of her life twelve years ago.
But she didn't take me in out of kindness. She needs a tutor for her rockstar client.
Ryder Hamilton is talented, brooding, and hates me for damaging his equipment.
His terms are simple: I help him pass English, don't breathe too loud, and stay out of his way.
But grief doesn't follow rules.
When thunderstorms trigger my panic attacks, Ryder's the one who talks me through them. When I feel like I'm drowning, his music becomes my anchor.
The boy who warned everyone to avoid me, is now the only person not expecting me to be okay.
I should hate him for making the start at my new school isolating and unbearable.
Instead, every time he looks at me, I forget why staying away was supposed to keep me safe.
***
A gothic mansion. A musician with stage fright. A girl who felt unworthy of love.
A slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance for readers who like their feelings complicated and their happy endings earned. With forced proximity, found family, and a heroine navigating grief, loss, and the importance of second chances.
