Delilah is a sweet, soft-hearted girl with a quiet spark, trying to finish her senior year of high school without complications. But when her mom takes in a broken boy named Ezra, everything changes. Ezra is tough, distant, and full of anger-but behind the tough exterior lies a heart shattered by abuse and pain. As Delilah helps him piece himself back together, she finds herself drawn to him in ways she never expected.
But as their bond grows, so does the tension. Ezra's trauma runs deep, and the line between helping and falling in love starts to blur. The more Delilah helps him heal, the more she realizes that the boy she's falling for is not just broken-he's dangerous. But with his past always threatening to pull him under, will their connection be enough to save him? Or will the darkness inside Ezra tear them apart?
