"The opposite of his love was not hate. I experienced his hate. It could be as bright and hot as his love. No, the opposite of his love was his indifference. When his eyes would pass through my body, reminding me that I could be nothing to him. That I could be nothing at all"

16 year old Maya is looking for excitement, for connection, for life. When she meets Lucan she is swept into a love affair that feels different. It feels like destiny.  Yet, as she is drawn deeper into the murky haze of the relationship, she is forced to sacrifice pieces of herself. Bit by bit she  is consumed by the fire of his passion and crushed by the grip of his iron control. This is what it feels like to lose yourself.

As Maya digs into the past, buried secrets fracture her identity and force impossible choices. Trauma refuses neat endings. Love becomes both lifeline and liability-can redemption survive, or will the darkness destroy them both? What will Maya uncover about herself and his past as she tumbles down this dark path? Is he her safe place to land? Chapter 21 Peek: "Another one?" My eyes shot to Miles, who stood in the doorway, his silhouette framed by the faint light. I licked my lips, dry and cracked from anxiety, glancing at Grayson, who was still out cold, oblivious to the storm raging inside me. 'Denial. Deny, deny, deny.' The mantra echoed in my head, a feeble shield against the truth. "What are you talking about?" "You know EXACTLY what I'm talking about, Maya. Trey is taunting you. He texted you when we arrived- I SAW the message. Don't try to hide it-it's completely obvious." Miles stepped closer, his voice low but insistent, his eyes searching mine with a mix of concern and frustration.
