Shy, artistic Maya Lin has always survived high school by staying invisible-until one reckless night with golden-boy basketball star Ryan Porter shatters her carefully constructed world. Suddenly, Maya is the center of every rumor, every cruel whisper, and every viral photo tearing through the halls. The problem isn't just Brianna-the jealous ex intent on destroying Maya's life-or the friends who turn their backs. It's the way Ryan won't let go, even as his own world falls apart. It's the way desire flares, fierce and undeniable, whenever they're together-slow burn igniting into something wild and real. But surviving the fallout won't be enough. When scandal turns to harassment and the whole town takes sides, Maya must find the courage to fight back, reclaim her voice, and decide if her heart can survive trusting Ryan again. Because the only thing harder than surviving high school...is risking everything for love. Steamy, emotional, and unforgettable, Small Town Scandal is an enemies-to-lovers romance about messy first love, fierce survival, and the kind of happy ending you have to fight for.
