Chantelle thought she could start over-a new school, a fresh start, a chance to leave the past behind. But danger has a way of following, and shadows from her childhood have never truly disappeared.
When a mysterious figure from her past, Lucas Hale, targets her, her life is thrown into chaos. Daniel, the brooding and protective senior baseball star, tries to stay away-but he can't. Ryan, the rebellious lead singer with a conscience, arrives just in time to defend her. Together, they confront the darkness that has haunted her, but their growing closeness sparks a complicated, unspoken tension between the two boys.
As Chantelle begins to recover, she discovers the fine line between trust and obsession-and between desire and protection. She must navigate the fractured pieces of her past, the dangers lurking in the present, and the tangled emotions pulling at her heart.
In a world where safety is temporary and feelings are perilous, Chantelle learns one chilling truth: sometimes survival is only temporary... safe, for now.
