'The feeling of being wanted is such an unknown feeling to me. My whole life I have kept to myself, avoiding any more human contact than absolutely necessary. I used to think that I enjoyed being in my own company but with Noah and Georgia's relentless attempts to try and 'break down my walls'... I've come to realise that I'm tired of being lonely. Maybe that's the reason that I swing my bag onto my back and follow Noah back inside. '
Poppy Marin has spent her whole life in the shadows, hiding her scars from the world. That is until Noah Corin is forced into her life to do a school project. They both want to do well, so there shouldn't be a problem, should there?
When Poppy's brother, Will, dies, she is the one left to pick up the pieces and live alone with the monster who controls her life. Whilst planning for Will's funeral, she connects with her cousin Alex who seems honest, but does he have a hidden motive?

At twenty-four, she's finally free - until a DNA test reveals a half-sister she never knew, and an invitation to a town where blood runs thick and the rules are written in chrome and loyalty.
