Love was never safe. Not in Chloe Rivera's world.
At just 23, Chloe has already survived more than most-abuse cloaked as affection, friendships sharpened into betrayal, and a city that looks the other way when girls like her go missing, silenced, or dead.
When a body surfaces tied to a case she thought was buried, Chloe is pulled back into the shadows of a toxic past she's tried to outrun. As secrets unravel, old flames reignite, and buried truths claw their way to the surface, she must confront the cost of loyalty-and what it really means to love without losing herself.
With the help of a quietly fierce ally named Malik and the wisdom of her no-nonsense grandmother, Chloe begins to see that survival is not the same as healing. And silence? That's just another kind of cage.
