Erwachseneninhalt
He was born to rule. She was forged in fire. But falling in love might be their undoing.
I know how to survive. I've been doing it since the day my mother taught me to hide in closets and wait for the monsters to pass.
Trusting people? Loving them? That's how you get broken.
So when Shane Montgomery-Mr. Golden Boy with his perfect smile and world of privilege-offered to help me, I didn't believe him. Why would someone like him care about someone like me? I'm barely holding my life together-working double shifts, sleeping too little, chasing a future no one thinks I deserve.
But Shane is relentless. Not just with tutoring or grades, but with me. With seeing me. Touching the parts of me I've kept buried because needing someone is dangerous. And wanting him? That's a cliff I can't afford to fall from.
Still... I'm slipping.
Because when he looks at me like I'm his everything-like I'm the only thing he needs, like our love is fated, written into the very fabric of the universe-I almost believe him.
And if I allow myself to fall-really fall-it won't just be into his arms.
It'll be straight into the wreckage of everything I've fought so hard to survive.
In the first installment of the Twisted Path Series, opposites collide, secrets unravel, and two star-crossed lovers cling to each other in a world determined to tear them apart.
