Even after a decade, everyone is still talking about the Alberthorn Murder Scandal. For Declan, the mysterious murder of his billionaire father didn't just tear his family apart -- it made him lose Rissa Garcia, the girl he loved more than anything, who moved countries to escape the chaos. No one blames her. After all, no girl should be forced to deal with a traumatized, grieving boyfriend with a disgraced family full of murder suspects. Not when you're sixteen.
However, Rissa didn't run to escape the disaster. She ran because she is the disaster.
And Declan can never know she was the one who murdered his father.
Now, ten years have passed, and the ripple effects from Francis Alberthorns' unsolved death just seem to grow more and more destructive. And she can't run from the love of her life forever.
For Rissa and Declan, seeing each other again could destroy them for good... or bring them redemption.
