Abused. Sad. Suicidal. Protector. Those four words best describe Artimeys Corvone. His stepfather abuses him and his mother thinks it's his fault he's like that. But when that monster violates his baby sister, Artimeys snaps. Suicidal, he gets sent to Sunny Days, and, to add to the experience, he lost his memory, most of it. But there he meets River. Quiet, shy, terrified, depressed, scared of touch, River. His roommate who looks like he would rather stab him than share a room. But Artimeys tries to get closer, and River can't avoid him forever. He doesn't know why River is there, only that he's been there more than five years. But what happens when River finds himself losing it, and not only in a bad way.

When River was fourteen, his parents were found murdered in their home. He never explained what happened that night. He never defended himself. He never spoke at all. Five years later, the silence is finally broken - not by River, but by the court granting him a new trial. Until then, he is released into the custody of his godfather Adam, a high-profile lawyer who has believed in River's innocence from the beginning. Amber is not so sure. To her mother, who is River's godmother, he is a danger that should never have been allowed back into their lives. To her father, River is a broken boy failed by the system. To Amber... he is the ghost of her childhood. The friend she once loved. And the stranger she no longer understands. River returns colder, unreadable, and beautiful in a way that makes Amber's heart ache with something she wished she had outgrown. But behind his quiet stare lies something darker - a truth he has kept locked inside since the night everything changed. Everyone wants to know what happened. Everyone wants answers. But only River knows the truth. And the closer Amber gets to him, the more she wonders if some secrets are better left buried.
