After the Bell Rings (Getaway series Book 1) Kindle Edition

Lucy Caldwell has always played it safe—responsible daughter, quiet student, invisible observer. Senior year was supposed to be simple: survive classes, keep her head down, and wait for graduation.Then she’s paired with Liam Anderson—the golden boy of Pine Ridge High—for a community service project she never wanted. He’s loud where she’s quiet, reckless where she’s cautious, and suddenly everywhere she turns.What starts as awkward car rides and half-hearted conversations slowly shifts into something more—late-night texts, unexpected laughter, and moments Lucy can’t stop replaying. But letting Liam in means risking the walls she’s built, and Lucy isn’t sure if she’s ready for the vulnerability that comes with being truly seen.Heartfelt, funny, and achingly real, After the Bell Rings is a story about loneliness, unexpected connections, and the courage it takes to let someone change your world.
