Tahani Elise Campbell was born into survival. She and her little sister, Tahara, have never known a life untouched by struggle. Orphaned young and tossed into the system, they learned quickly that softness gets you killed. For Tahani, writing became her only escape-but words can't keep the lights on, and dreams don't scare off monsters. When their paths collide, it's fire and ice. Tahani sees through Montana's coldness, past the mask he shows the world. And Montana? He knows better than to let someone like her close. She's smart, too observant...and worst of all-she makes him feel. But in a world where love is dangerous and survival is never guaranteed...will a crooked smile be enough to save them, or will it cost them everything?
