Sadie Rockwood and Julia Alessi are best friends, both eighteen and finishing up their senior year of high school. They are inseparable and have been for quite some time. Sadie has always yearned for a sense of belonging and unconditional love, something her alcoholic mother could never provide. Julia's family, however, seems to offer just that. But when she especially finds solace and acceptance in Julia's father, an unintentional attraction forms. As the two bond in secrecy, Sadie's issues worsen, and navigating through them with the unavailable man causes a destructive downward spiral that pulls him and the unsuspecting family along for the ride.

"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine."
