ThyUnknownArtist
Rylie Mason has spent most of her life chasing anything that makes her forget.
Loud parties. Blurred nights. Bad decisions. Anything that keeps her from sitting still long enough to feel the emptiness beneath her skin.
The only place she has ever truly felt free is on the back of a horse, miles away from expectations, arguments, and the people constantly trying to save her.
When Rylie returns home from vacation with her college-football-star boyfriend, everyone expects stories, pictures, and another glimpse of their seemingly perfect relationship.
Instead, she comes home changed.
Scott Hardin has always been jealous. Protective, he calls it. Passionate. Afraid of losing her.
But his affection is beginning to feel like ownership, and the word no has never meant enough to him.
As Scott's behavior becomes harder to hide, Isa Mason turns to the one person she has trusted her entire life-Makina Green.
Makina is disciplined where Rylie is reckless. Controlled where Rylie is chaos. She believes rules exist for a reason, emotions should remain private, and some lines should never be crossed.
Especially the line between herself and her best friend's twenty-one-year-old daughter.
But the more time Makina spends around Rylie, the more difficult it becomes to ignore the woman hidden beneath the careless smile.
What begins as concern becomes understanding.
Understanding becomes longing.
And longing becomes something neither of them can admit without destroying the lives around them.
Rylie has spent years wondering whether she could ever be enough for someone like Makina.
Makina is about to discover that resisting Rylie may be the only rule she has ever been unable to follow.
But secrets do not stay buried forever.
And when love, obsession, and loyalty collide, someone will finally break.
