Gracie is homeless, has been for most of her life. When a particular cold set of days cause her to move from her former place in downtown Manhattan-a measly alleyway- she finds not only a new sleeping arrangement, but the interest of a certain tall dark and handsome stranger...minus the dark. When said stranger learns her situation he gives her an application to a job, and some free nights in his apartment. Except...when Gracie gets the job it just so happens to be for him, and he's not the sweet person she's thought he was. Gracie needs something more than pennies in her metaphorical bank account, and the tall not-so-dark and handsome stranger is giving her hundred dollar bills...he just might not be worth it.

Not to protect him. Not to save him. But because she knows the truth of what happened... and she cannot bear to confess it. They have never met. But the moment they do, the air turns sharp- full of tension, unspoken accusations, and the kind of hate that feels too much like longing. He despises her for a sin she never committed. She punishes herself for a sin she never confessed. And marriage turns into a battleground where silence is a weapon... and closeness is a threat. In this house, love is impossible. Trust is deadly. But hatred? Hatred is the only thing keeping them alive.
