Seth Ndubuisi YA&Teenfiction

“Oh God… if he keeps staring at me like that, I might actually lose it.Of all the houses they could’ve placed me in… it had to be his.Jace freaking Blackwell.”After a troubled childhood and her father’s arrest, Chloe Bennett is forced to start over when her mother remarries an old friend—Marcus Blackwell, the most powerful man in Blackridge Hills.And the father of the boy she never forgot.Jace Blackwell.They were inseparable once, tangled up in a childhood that felt unbreakable.Now he’s her stepbrother.And he’s nothing like the boy she remembers.Jace is colder. Distant. Like every piece of warmth he once had was stripped away—and he’d rather burn the past than face it.Just when Chloe thinks she’s survived the worst of her life, everything spirals again. A last-minute boarding issue at the Blackridge academy, her new school, forces her into the one place she can’t escape.The Blackwell estate. The same house as Jace.The same boy who looks at her like she’s a memory he wants erased.But the longer she stays, the more the silence between them starts to c***k… revealing something deeper and unfinished.Because some pasts don’t stay buried.And some people were never meant to be left behind.
