Skylar Green never believed her first year of university would change everything. Innocent, naive, but stubbornly down to earth, she only wanted to keep her head down, study hard, and avoid distractions. But then she meets Adrian Hart- Her brother's best friend.

Skylar quickly finds herself caught in Adrian's world, a world that feels thrilling and intoxicating... until it all comes crashing down. And then one truth shatters everything... A truth so devastating it sends her running into the storm. A truth she may never forgive. A truth that ends with screeching tires, shattered glass, and darkness. When she wakes, her memory is gone.
