When Eva meets the devastatingly complex Gideon Cross, she's drawn into a romance that's equal parts thrilling and terrifying—two damaged souls who understand each other's darkest corners in ways no one else can. Their connection is electric and all-consuming, but their shared painful pasts make every moment of intimacy both a source of ecstasy and anxiety. As they navigate the intensity of their relationship, Eva and Gideon must decide whether their fierce love can heal them or if it will ultimately destroy them. This is a steamy, emotionally charged journey about two people learning that sometimes the person who hurts you most is also the only one who can truly save you.
