When sheltered Sloane turns twenty-one, she's ready to finally break free and live without apologies—and that's exactly when she collides with Hemi, a tattooed bad boy who's surprisingly become someone trying to keep his own chaos in check. Their chemistry is instant and intoxicating, pulling them into each other with an intensity neither expected, but they're both harboring secrets that could unravel everything. As passion and obsession blur the lines between them, they'll discover that sometimes the people we want most are the ones who could hurt us deepest. This is a gorgeous, steamy second-chance-at-life kind of romance that asks just how honest we're willing to be with the people we love.
