Isla Henderson doesn't remember the last time that she saw Colten Barclay. The only thing she knows is that one day he was there, and then he wasn't.
It's not like she had much time to dwell over it anyway -organising rallies, trying to keep her reckless best friend out of a cell, running an ever-growing blog, and having dinner on Fridays with his brother and brother-in-law takes up all of her time.
Six years after, when Colten reappears as a successful lawyer, it is to rob what little flicker of light remains in Isla's life -the theatre school that her recently deceased father had funded.
Childhood friends turned enemies, they will soon be sucked into a whirlwind of something else than physical attraction. Something dark, something forbidden, something that will make both of them do things they never wanted to do before.
Cold on the outside, Colten has been sheltering someone else's secrets, slowly but surely dampening his good intentions. Secrets that not even his ex-best friend, Isla's brother, would be able to understand.
He's always had a crush on Isla, and he's the most handsome man that she has had the displeasure of knowing.
