Ashford Hearts
Maya Hailys never wanted a fresh start.
After the brutal murder of her parents, she leaves behind the only home she's ever known and moves to Ashford with her aunt and cousin, Jasmine. Determined never to be vulnerable again, Maya builds walls around her heart and keeps everyone at arm's length.
At Ashford Reese High, she quickly attracts attention—from jealous cheerleaders, curious classmates, and two popular basketball players who couldn't be more different.
Greg Dawson is charming, kind, and impossible to ignore.
Theo Rivera is frustrating, arrogant, and always seems to know exactly how to get under her skin.
As friendships grow, rivalries ignite, and feelings become impossible to deny, Maya finds herself caught between the safety of her carefully built defenses and the possibility of happiness she thought she'd lost forever.
But Ashford holds more than teenage drama and first love.
The truth about her parents' murder is far from buried, and someone is watching from the shadows.
When Maya's past finally catches up to her, the people she loves may be the only thing standing between her and danger.
In a story filled with friendship, heartbreak, jealousy, secrets, and a slow-burning romance that refuses to be ignored, Maya must decide whether opening her heart is worth the risk of losing it all over again.
