Ximena has spent her entire life in Freeridge, a neighborhood where survival is a skill and trust is a luxury. Growing up down the street from Oscar "Spooky" Diaz, she knew him before he became the intimidating Santos leader everyone fears. Back when he was just a boy who fixed her bike and made her laugh. But the innocence of childhood didn't last long in Freeridge. By the time she was 16, Ximena's feelings for Oscar grew into something more, but she kept them to herself. At 20, a single night changed everything between them-until Oscar shattered her heart the next morning, saying it meant nothing. When he went to prison soon after, Ximena buried her feelings and focused on building a life away from the pain he left behind. Three years later, Oscar is out, and the weight of his past is heavier than ever. Ximena is forced to face the man who once broke her, even as the streets of Freeridge grow more dangerous. With secrets, betrayal, and unresolved feelings threatening to pull them under.
