Calla has always known she wasnt wanted. Not by her parents. Not by her seven siblings. Not even by the servants who barely acknowledge her. Shes used to being ignored, used to being unloved-and used to quietly loving someone who doesnt love her back: her brothers best friend, Kieran Holt.

But when he snaps at her in a moment of carelessness, something inside her breaks.

Calla begins to fade-stops reaching out, stops speaking, stops trying. And when her body finally gives out from an illness no one even knew she had, her family is forced to face the truth: the sister they all overlooked was slowly disappearing right in front of them.

Kieran is the first to realize just how badly he hurt her. And hes determined to earn her trust, her forgiveness... and her heart.

Because now that he sees her for who she really is-soft, strong, worthy-hell never look away again.

A heart-shattering, slow-burn brothers best friend romance about trauma, healing, and being loved out loud for the very first time.
