She ghosted her life.
Rook Radcliffe can’t burn her past, but she can bury it. She keeps her strength—and her secrets—to herself, determined to stay invisible in a new town where no one knows her name.
Until the last guy she kissed turns up beaten and unconscious. Now she’s caught in the storm that follows. As whispers spread, she finds herself fighting to stay hidden while uncovering what really happened.
Theo Locke is grieving. Stuck. And when Rook starts to disappear behind her defenses, he refuses to look away.
Rook knows better than to trust him, but he’s not going anywhere.
In a school run by half-truths and varsity royalty, Out Cold is a sharp, emotionally grounded mystery about strength, trust, and what it takes to let someone get close.
The central mystery resolves in this book, while larger character arcs continue to unfold. Out Cold is book one in a slow-building mystery series where emotional stakes deepen over time.
