Cassidy's life has always been about survival-until now.
At twenty, she finally takes the leap she's been dreaming of, packing her life into a truck and leaving behind the chaos of Los Angeles-and her drug-addicted mother-for a fresh start at NYU. She leaves without a goodbye, without permission, without looking back.
But New York brings more than just freedom. It brings Nickolas-the boy she never expected to see again. A familiar face from high school, now sharper, darker, and more complicated than she remembers. Their connection is instant, electric... and dangerous.
What starts as a pull they can't resist soon spirals into a relationship full of passion, pain, and secrets. Cassidy wanted to escape her past-but some things follow you no matter how far you run.
In a city full of second chances, can two broken people really save each other-or will they fall apart trying?
