When your past is soaked in blood and secrets, love should be the last thing on your mind.
After Lina’s mother is murdered and her sadistic stepfather vanishes, she’s thrust into hiding with a father she’s never known, an FBI agent who abandoned her before she could crawl. With a fake identity and a new life in rural Tennessee, Lina is just trying to survive. But danger isn’t always what follows you. Sometimes, it’s what’s waiting behind the front door.
Axel—her brooding, bitter stepbrother—wants her gone.
Johnny—his older brother—watches her like he already knows what broke her.
And Nik—Axel’s best friend—is everything she shouldn’t want… and exactly who she can’t stop thinking about.
They’re off-limits. Every last one of them.
But what’s the point of rules if no one’s playing by them?
