josephine (josie) callaghan was never supposed to end up in ireland.

after losing her biological mom, josie was adopted by her mother's best friend-an icy, calculated woman with a sharp tongue and colder hands. her new family, full of arguments and deceit, gave her a new last name, a new older brother, and no real place to belong. years later, after her father's sudden death, she's dragged from california to the rainy hills of cork, ireland-with nothing but a small voice, too many secrets, and a nervous system that never learned how to settle.

while her brother slips effortlessly into the rugby crowd at bcs-popular, confident, untouchable-josie's sent to tommen, where the boys are brutal and big, the girls are scary and beautiful, and everyone seems to be watching for weakness.

josie doesn't talk about her brother. doesn't talk about the way he never really saw her. or how years of being invisible to the boy who was supposed to protect her made her flinch around loud voices, rough hands, and boys who look too much like trouble. especially older ones.

and then there's johnny kavanagh-untouchable, unreadable, and more broken than he looks. he sees her. maybe too much.

but josie callaghan has learned the hard way: love isn't safe-especially when the first boy you were ever supposed to trust barely looked at you. and trust? that's a game she never figured out the rules to.
