At Excel High School, Amelia Clarke is used to being invisible except when she’s the target of cruel pranks and endless bullying. Every day is a struggle to survive, and no one seems to care. That is, until one rainy afternoon changes everything.
When a mysterious boy named Lucas appears out of nowhere to help her after a humiliating incident, Amelia thinks their paths will never cross again. But the next day, Lucas walks into her classroom as the new transfer student. To everyone’s shock, he chooses to sit beside her, shattering the walls of loneliness she’s built around herself.
Lucas isn’t like anyone else. He’s kind, unshaken by the school’s social hierarchy, and unwilling to let Amelia face her tormentors alone. But standing up for her comes at a cost. The more Lucas defends her, the more dangerous their enemies become, and soon, even his strength may not be enough to protect them both.
As the two grow closer sharing late walks home and discovering they live next door Amelia begins to feel something she never thought she deserved. But just when she starts to believe in the possibility of happiness, a girl from Lucas’s past arrives, threatening to unravel everything.
In a world where kindness is a weakness and love makes you a target, Amelia and Lucas will have to fight for each other. But when the storm around them grows darker, will their bond be strong enough to survive?
Beneath the Storm We Bloom is a heart-pounding high school romance about finding hope in the most unexpected places and the one person who can change everything.
