At twenty-four, Rhaena's world fell utterly apart. In a desperate bid to escape the suffocating weight of a devastating betrayal, she stepped into an exclusive Los Angeles lounge and fell straight into the arms of a soft-spoken stranger.

No last names. No promises. Just a reckless, unforgettable escape thirty stories above the city before she slipped away into the morning fog.

She thought she left that night in the dark. She thought their paths would never cross again.

Six years later, Rhaena has transformed into a fierce, formidable LA attorney, guarding the heavy truth of what really happened after she walked out of his room.

Until the biggest rockstar on the planet walks straight through the doors of her law firm and the past comes rushing back with a vengeance.
