Eighteen-year-old Brynn is struggling to keep her head above water. Seven months after a single, tragic night claimed the lives of both her parents and her boyfriend, she is forced to abandon her dreams of singing to focus on basic survival. Landing a job at an ad agency, she attempts to rebuild her shattered life, but her focus is derailed by the enigmatic Micah. Their connection begins as a spark of friction, defining a classic enemies-to-lovers dynamic, but soon intensifies into a deep, consuming attraction. However, their relationship is built on shifting sand. As they grow closer, Micah struggles to mask the symptoms of his psychosis, a disorder that has already alienated his family and which he fears will ultimately destroy his future with Brynn. The tension escalates when a mystery girl from Brynn’s past emerges, wielding threatening information that could expose the dark secrets Brynn has fought to bury. With her traumatic history colliding with the instability of her present, Brynn must decide if love is worth the risk of total exposure. In this suspenseful new adult romance, the path to healing is paved with danger, and the truth may be the most devastating casualty of all.
