Blake Marie Donovan was good.
Good grades. Good boyfriend. Good future.
The kind of girl people trusted without question.
Until Domanick Valair noticed her.
He is eighteen, oil-stained and cruel-mouthed, with hands that linger too long and eyes that see too much. He doesn't want Blake because she's innocent-he wants her because innocence cracks under pressure. And once he touches her, the line between fear and desire blurs beyond recognition.
Caught between the boy who loves her safely and the one who wants her completely, Blake begins to unravel-strand by strand, choice by choice.
Because some loves don't save you.
They pull you under.
And once the veil is lifted,
you don't get to look away.

This is not a love story about redemption.
This is a story about obsession.
About a girl who thought goodness would protect her.
About a boy who knew it wouldn't.

I was wrong."

He touched me like he already owned me."

and boys who decide where you're allowed to go."

is how much it feels like being chosen."

They're followed.
