Abigail, 17, has always lived in the shadow of secrets.
Ever since that night, the one no one talks about, her world has been silence, stares, and scars. Going back to school after a quiet summer, Abby tries to keep her head down - and fails.
Worse: her father just remarried a woman she barely knows. Evelyn.
33. Elegant, mysterious, and cold as winter.
With her perfect black hair, her chilling smile, and her sharp words when no one's around, Evelyn quickly turns their shared house into a prison Abby can't escape.
Forced to live under the same roof while her father's away on business trips, the two women begin a quiet war - of glances, insults, tension, and something else they both refuse to name.
Something dangerous. Something that hurts.
And yet... something neither of them can ignore.
What will happen when forced proximity turns into something far more dangerous than hate?
