Neijla Woods wanted to disappear.
It was easy; transfer to a college out of state, and fall off the grid.
When Neijla finds herself in the tiny, bleak town of Alsbury, she comes face to face with the dangerous, resident bad boy Trey Arden. However, the closer she gets to him, haunting secrets arise, and dark, troublesome pasts come back to haunt those who hide in the shadows.
Not everyone is who they say they are, and Neijla is unwillingly putting herself, and the ones she loves, in incredible danger.
Some things are worth fighting for, but others are left better off dead.
