Keeping 13 by Chloe Walsh

Keeping 13 by Chloe Walsh is the intense and emotional second instalment in the bestselling Boys of Tommen series. This gripping new adult romance continues the turbulent story of Shannon Lynch and Johnny Kavanagh, blending high school drama, Irish small-town life, and a slow-burning love story filled with secrets, trauma, and healing.

Set in Cork, Ireland, the novel follows Shannon as she returns to school after a harrowing past, determined to rebuild her life while navigating complicated family dynamics and painful memories.
