Hard Fall

Rook Radcliffe Mysteries: Book 2

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

Strong doesn't mean invincible.

A fall down a staircase.

A crash from a balcony.

Two near-deaths at one party—with Rook and Theo caught in the crossfire.

As they search for the truth, they uncover a hidden culture of hazing and control at wealthy Highland High, where no one is willing to break the silence.

Rook is getting used to having Theo around. She's even starting to trust him—which only gives her more to lose.

Theo knows she's hiding a past she won't talk about. He could go looking for answers. Instead, he waits for Rook to give them.

The closer they get, the more carefully Rook keeps the distance between them. But unreachable isn't the same as safe.

Hard Fall is an emotionally grounded mystery about trauma, power, and the price of being the one who speaks.
