Leo Hartley

About

The charismatic but volatile bully whose torment of Maya masks a dark family secret and an obsessive need for control that spirals when he sees her slipping away.

Appearance

Leo Hartley has the kind of clean-cut, all-American look that makes teachers trust him instantly—short sandy-brown hair always perfectly styled, a sharp jawline, and piercing blue eyes that can shift from charming to cold in a heartbeat. He favors expensive, preppy clothing like polo shirts and crisp khakis, always with a watch or bracelet that signals old money. His smile is practiced and disarming, but a faint scar cuts through his left eyebrow, a reminder of the anger he keeps barely contained beneath the polished surface.
