After an unexpected ceiling collapse sends her apartment into chaos, Madelaine Grayson ends up living with her brother - and dangerously close to his tattooed, way-too-charming roommate. He's off-limits... but resisting him might be impossible. *** When Madelaine Grayson's bathroom ceiling caves in, it's not just drywall that crumbles. It's her entire world.

Somewhere between chaos, violence, devotion, and the terrifying things people do for the ones they can't lose, they stop recognising the people they're becoming. Especially Emillia Franjic.
