In a searing, dark love story steeped in grit, obsession, and secrets, two broken souls keep coming back together—no matter how much they tear each other apart.

Birdie Fast is thriving, with two degrees, a stable fiancé, and her dream job. Her mistakes are in the past, and she’s determined to keep them there.

Jarrod Storm, Birdie’s new CEO, is the man who destroyed her life and stole everything from her. Grown rich and powerful, he’s spent years waiting for her in the shadows.

Now, he wants her back.

Birdie loathes him, but she can’t deny how he makes her feel: safe. He’s the only one who’s ever truly seen her.

If there’s anything Birdie has learned, it’s to keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Because you’re never truly safe with a past like hers.
