Diana Adkins has never stayed anywhere for long. Expelled, transferred, or quietly sent away, she's on her third boarding school this year-an isolated estate tucked deep in the countryside. Haunted by her own thoughts and abandoned by parents who would rather pretend she doesn't exist, Diana is used to drifting through life unseen.
Until she meets Vivienne Monet, the enigmatic and elegant house mistress of her new dormitory. Vivienne is the first adult who seems to understand her, who listens when the world would rather medicate or ignore her. Against all odds-and against every rule-an intense, secret relationship sparks between them, one built on trust, desire, and the delicate balance of power that Diana craves.
But the fragile world they've built shatters when Vivienne disappears, kidnapped without a trace. For the first time, Diana refuses to run. With her heart and freedom on the line, she must unravel a dark web of secrets to bring back the only person who has ever truly seen her.
