Isadora Park ends up in the middle of Vegas and not by choice. Her mom sold the house. Her dad's got a BBQ joint with a body count and an open invitation she's been ignoring for years. But options are tight, and Isa is out of them.
And nobody comes to Vegas clean, Isa just doesn't know that yet. Doesn't know that this city has sides, that her family's claimed one for twenty years. Doesn't know that the boy across the lot, burning like Vegas was built around him, has claimed the other.
By the time she does, she's already on fire.
Because what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, that's what they say. Even the 3am secrets. Even the things two people do when nobody's supposed to know. Even a Romeo who deals in things that don't stay on the strip, and a Juliet who should know better than to love the smell of smoke.
Two families, one ugly strip of Nevada asphalt, a grudge so old it's got roots neither of them can see the bottom of. She thought she knew how the story went.
... she didn't know the half of it.
