What started as an unexpected friendship quickly became something neither of them could ignore. For the first time in years, Tori felt safe. Seen. Loved. But when old secrets begin resurfacing and the people around her start disappearing, Tori finds herself caught in a dangerous web of lies, betrayal, and buried truths that were never meant to come to light. The deeper she digs, the more she realizes that everyone is hiding something-including the boy she's falling for. As enemies close in and the line between friend and foe begins to blur, Tori must decide who she can trust before it's too late. Because some secrets don't stay buried. And some people will kill to keep them hidden. A story of love, loss, betrayal, and the lengths we go to protect the people who own our hearts.
