Binding 13 by Chloe Walsh

🖤 Binding 13 — Annotated Edition

Book #1 in the Boys of Tommen series

He wants to save her.
She just wants to survive.

Binding 13 follows Shannon Lynch.... quiet, withdrawn, and carrying more pain than anyone can see. After years of bullying and a life shaped by fear, she transfers to a new school hoping to finally disappear into the background.

But then there’s Johnny Kavanagh.

Star rugby player. Untouchable. Focused on one thing... his future.
Until Shannon walks into it.

What starts as accidental becomes unavoidable.
And no matter how hard they try to stay away from each other… they can’t.

Because behind the silence, the bruises, and the walls Shannon has built —
there’s a story no one has ever been patient enough to understand. 

And Johnny?
He’s the one person who refuses to look away.

This is a slow-burn, deeply emotional story about trauma, healing, and the kind of connection that doesn’t come easy — but once it does, it changes everything. 

🖤 This is not just the book… it’s the experience.
