For years, Hazel Brooks has lived as the joke everyone laughs at. Then Mason Riggs—the basketball ace who once protected her—publicly ridicules her body and rejects her confession, shattering the little confidence she had left. With her grandmother’s encouragement, Hazel stops starving herself, grows healthier, and begins learning her own worth.
At that moment, Adrian Vance, the masked transfer student everyone calls “Ghost Boy,” appears beside her. He speaks little, inspires fear, and yet never hesitates to stand between Hazel and those who hurt her. While Hazel is finding her voice again, Mason is left to regret losing her. But Adrian is hiding a truth far more dangerous than anyone expects.
Under the mask is the heir to the powerful Vance crime family, a name that can silence a city. And before anyone else saw Hazel clearly, he had already chosen her.
