Summary
For Riley Caulfield, a reclusive tech genius who spends her free time coding and fixing computers for a living, life is a series of calculations. Every human interaction is a data point, everything in her life a variable. Her world is one of living as an introvert and silent nights at the computer. For Sofia Ashcroft, life is a performance. As the queen of her college's ruthless social scene & heiress to her mothers company, she's perfected the art of the cruel word and the cutting smile. She doesn't build sanctuaries: she storms them.
Their worlds collide when Sofia, desperate for a passing grade, targets the one person no one notices: the quiet girl Riley. But the quiet girl fights back with a calm, terrifying intelligence, and Sofia's calculated cruelty sparks a chain reaction she never saw coming.
What begins as a vicious campus rivalry explodes into a desperate alliance when the threats against Riley and Sofia escalate from brutal words to real, physical danger. Riley, a transgender woman guarding a past of secrets, and Sofia a girl hiding a crushing emptiness behind her perfect façade, find themselves fighting a common enemy, and against a shocking, undeniable attraction that could destroy them both.
