He thought university would be a fresh start. He never expected her to tear apart the carefully controlled world he'd built.
Fresh out of high school, bright-eyed and determined, Hardin Young arrives at Washington Central University with his supportive mother and devoted girlfriend, Nicole, beside him.
He has his future mapped out: a stable relationship, predictable plans, and a life he can control.
Then he meets Tessa Scott.
His roommate's magnetic, unpredictable friend is everything Hardin isn't prepared for... chaotic, fearless, and impossible to ignore.
One alcohol-fuelled party changes everything when a cruel game of truth-or-dare exposes Hardin's secret and awakens a dangerous mix of jealousy, attraction, and desire between them.
After a reckless night, Hardin crosses a line he can't undo.
One intoxicating kiss with Tessa destroys his relationship with Nicole and forces him into a world of emotions he's spent years avoiding.
But when Tessa trusts him with a devastating secret from her past, the consequences become far worse than either of them imagined.
The truth is exposed, weaponised, and used to tear Tessa's life apart... pushing her into a painful battle with alcohol and the trauma she thought she had escaped.
Now Hardin is left facing the one thing he fears most: the possibility that he isn't the person trying to save her... but the person who broke her.
