My name is Laylie Francis Volevoy, and this is the story of my before.
I used to think I understood my life. My father left when I was a child, my mother slowly disappeared into addiction, and I learned early that the people you love can hurt you the most.
Then I met Asher.
He was everything I wasn't-confident, dangerous, and completely unreadable. I couldn't understand why he was always watching me, or why being around him made me feel both safer and more vulnerable than I had ever felt before.
But when strange people begin coming after me, I realize my father's disappearance wasn't as simple as I thought.
There is a world surrounding me that I never knew existed. A world of power, money, violence, secrets, and betrayal. And somehow, Asher has always been a part of it.
The more I uncover, the more I realize the truth about my family may be darker than I ever imagined.
I was once a girl who was afraid of the world.
Now I'm learning how to survive it.
And somewhere between losing the person I thought I was and discovering the woman I could become, I have to decide who I can trust-including the man I'm falling for.
Because in his world, innocence doesn't last forever.
And neither will I.
