She runs from everything she knows-home, history, and the version of herself that never stopped breaking.
All she has left is a name and a promise: her twin brother's.
When she finds him in a town that feels suspended in twilight, she also finds the people who orbit him-men with quiet secrets and laughter that hides pain. One of them sees her differently. One of them looks at her like she's something worth saving.
But love isn't gentle when your mind is a battlefield.
Some days she burns too bright; others, she disappears entirely. And as her world blurs between mania and silence, she must decide what's real-her brother's fragile safety, the man who steadies her storms, or the part of herself she's been running from all along.
Because even the brightest light casts a shadow...
and some women are born chasing theirs.

BLAKE
Blake Turner has one goal: survive the next eighteen months, get her diploma, and disappear. Everything else-her boyfriend, her friends, her once-perfect life-is already gone. All that's left is endurance. Eighteen more months of keeping quiet. Of hiding the truth about what happens behind closed doors. Of pretending everything is fine when nothing is. She can make it. She has to. Liam Cole doesn't do attachments. Not when loyalty to his crew is the only thing that's kept him alive these past two years. Dragged into gang life too young, his world is built on violence, loyalty, and nights that end with no names exchanged. His past haunts him. His future? Already decided. His heart? Off-limits. Hardened. Untouchable. But when he crosses paths with the school's most hated outcast-the quiet girl everyone whispers about-everything he thought he knew begins to unravel. But some secrets refuse to stay buried... And when the truth finally breaks free, it leaves no one untouched.
