Layla Addison is everything people crave and everything they fear-reckless, beautiful, and impossible to control. At school, she wears chaos like a crown. Behind closed doors, she's unraveling.
Haunted by a past she refuses to name, Layla drowns herself in smoke, pills, and bad decisions, chasing silence in a mind that won't stop screaming. Losing herself feels easier than facing what broke her.
Then there's James Peterson.
Quiet. Watchful. Dangerous in a way that doesn't shout.
He doesn't try to fix her. He doesn't flinch when she pushes him away. And somehow, that makes him harder to escape.
What begins as curiosity turns into something neither of them planned-something raw, consuming, and dangerously real.
But some damage doesn't fade. Some pasts don't stay buried.
And as Layla spirals closer to the truth she's been running from, she's forced to make a choice:
Keep destroying herself...
Or risk everything by letting someone see all the pieces she tried to hide.
