About this book

When Olivia finds herself tangled up with Cash, a reformed bad boy with a reputation that precedes him, she discovers that letting someone in—really in—is worth the risk. But just as they're building something real, dangerous figures from Cash's past emerge with demands that could tear everything apart. Suddenly, Olivia has to decide if she can trust the man she loves when it matters most, even as everything she holds dear hangs in the balance. This is a story about second chances, the kind of love that's willing to fight, and finding out that sometimes the scariest leap isn't falling for the bad boy—it's believing he can change.

AI-generated synopsis

smolderingtenseintoxicatingdangerousyearning

Sultry R&B and indie rock with undercurrent of danger—think The Weeknd's intensity, SZA's vulnerability, and Arctic Monkeys' edge. Slow-burn tension building into passionate, explicit moments. Dark undertones of suspense beneath sensual grooves. Atmospheric and intoxicating.
