By Rachel Stevens
Synopsis
Ethan Hayes, a whirlwind of defiance and raw vulnerability, is the bane of his conservative boarding school, Crestwood Academy. His constant rule-breaking and devil-may-care attitude both infuriates and intrigues Liam Walker, the Head Boy, known for his impeccable record and unwavering sense of responsibility. As Liam is reluctantly tasked with mentoring Ethan, a complex web of emotions begins to ensnare him – frustration, empathy, and an undeniable attraction. He sees beneath Ethan's rebellious facade to the wounded boy beneath, yearning for acceptance. Liam's patient guidance, tinged with unexpected moments of vulnerability and assertiveness, slowly chips away at Ethan's defenses, igniting a romance that challenges both their identities and threatens to unravel the rigid structure of Crestwood. 'Renegade Heart' is a story of redemption, self-discovery, and the transformative power of love in the face of societal expectations.
