Enter the world of Heathley Academy, from indie author Bethany Rayne.
Grayson Three years ago, my childhood best friend left without a word. Now she's back and she thinks we can pick up where we left off. She's wrong. I'm not the same boy she left behind. And it's all her fault. Dahlia I had my reasons for leaving, but he doesn't want to hear them. He's changed. But so have I. I came back hoping to find my best friend, but what I found was so much more. Tropes: childhood best friends; boy next door; second chance; suspense; enemies to lovers; he loves me, he loves me not; private academy / high school; angst; steamy; dark romance. The Absence of You is book one in the Heathley Academy series but can be read as a complete standalone with a full HEA. Dahlia and Grayson's story is told in dual POV. For mature listeners.
