Then there's Knox Reyes-the boy in the shadows. Silent. Watching. Hiding a darkness that mirrors her own.

Spencer Flynn has spent years keeping her past sealed. She doesn't speak of it or revisit it. A supermarket cashier, her life is small by design, shaped by quiet routines and minimal interaction, with nothing forcing her to remember what she escaped. Everything changes when Celine Moreau, a high-level PR executive, offers Spencer a job that doesn't match her comfort zone, but the chance to try feels like a step toward reclaiming what's left of her life. She accepts and does not prepare for the chaos of her first day. For Spencer, tattoos mean healing, so she finally gets that Medusa one she's always wanted, unaware it belongs to someone powerful. Mino Corsetti. Owner of one of the most successful luxury car companies in the U.S., he nearly loses his mind when he discovers a stranger wearing what he considers his personal design. Spencer meets his fury with attitude, only to be left shocked when he sits across from her in a boardroom the next day as her boss's biggest client. Bracing for termination, she is instead assigned a major project for one reason alone: Mino recognizes the meaning of her tattoo and becomes fixated on uncovering her kind of darkness, and why they mirror each other's damage so well. Where Mino thrives on control, dominance, and pain, Spencer finds grounding in surrender and in receiving pain that gives her a sense of agency she has never had. Their connection feels natural, even comforting at first. But trauma bonding has always been the most dangerous form of love. Fascination twists into a dangerous fetish. Desire deepens into dependency. Healing rips open old wounds, leaving them both addicted to the dark intensity they share. Soon, every choice, touch, and altered boundary pushes them closer to a place where pain and desire are indistinguishable, where the consequences could scar them psychologically, physically, even fatally. And that line between desire and death... may just be exactly where they have always been headed.

"I'm not asking to be saved. I'm just asking you not to leave when I drown." She doesn't write love letters. She writes survival notes - to something she can't see, but feels every second of the day. No one knows the war happening in her chest. The screaming silence after someone pulls away. The way she spirals just from being ignored. The way she can't tell if she's falling in love or falling apart - or if it's both. This isn't her healing journey. It's her journal. One hundred entries. One hundred heartbreaks. One girl trying to understand herself through the only thing that ever truly stayed - the chaos inside her. If you've ever been told you're too much, too emotional, too dramatic... This book is for you. If you've ever begged someone not to go, even when you swore you didn't care... This book is you. These pages aren't pretty. But they're honest. And sometimes that's what hurts the most.
