small town secret

Based on the first chapter:



The story follows Morana Graves, a college student who's considered an outcast due to rumors and exaggerated stories about her past. She's a talented artist who finds solace in her sketchbook and the Ravenwood Café. However, her peaceful existence is disrupted when Astria Beaumont, the college's "golden girl," sits down at her table.



As they interact, Morana's defenses are slowly broken down, and she begins to experience unexpected feelings for Astria. Meanwhile, Aurelle, Astria's friend and potential love interest, seems to dislike Morana and spreads rumors about her.



The story appears to be a slow-burn romance with themes of self-discovery, societal pressure, and personal fear.
