Veronica "Vee" Cross had a plan-a career in the music industry, a fiancé, a future that made sense. Then she walked in on him cheating, and just like that, everything was gone.
With no job, no reputation, and no reason to stay sober, she moves to Detroit to crash with her best friend, thinking she'll figure shit out. Instead, she starts drinking too much, partying too hard, and slipping into a world she never thought she'd belong to.
She wasn't trying to be a groupie.
She swore she'd never be that girl.
But after enough bad nights and worse decisions, somehow, that's exactly what she becomes.
That's how she meets Marshall.
Arrogant. Cold. Completely full of himself.
He doesn't do attachments. He doesn't give a fuck. Women are distractions, leeches, nothing but trouble.
And Vee?
She plays the role-shows up, stays in his bed, but never acts like she needs him.
Where other women fall at his feet, she doesn't give a shit.
Where others wait on his calls, she ignores them.
And suddenly?
Marshall's the one losing it.
When she's with someone else? He snaps.
When she dodges his calls? He spirals.
He swears he'd be so much better off without her.
So why the fuck can't he let her go?
A toxic, addictive push-and-pull love story built on obsession, arrogance, and the one girl who refuses to play by his rules.
