Evelyn Cross has spent years running from the darkness of her past, building a life that is both a fragile sanctuary and a cage of her own making. When Mira Sutton enters her life, Evelyn feels a spark of hope for something better-something real. But secrets are hard to bury, and Evelyn's dangerous history refuses to stay in the shadows.
As Evelyn grows closer to Mira, she finds herself torn between the woman who loves her and the life she left behind. When an old figure from her past resurfaces with a chilling demand, Evelyn is forced to confront the truth of who she is-and whether she deserves the chance to change.
But the walls she's built to protect herself might end up destroying everything she's come to care about. As her past and present collide, Evelyn must decide: can she save herself without losing Mira in the process?
