A Little to Late

Elitta has always been good at running.

From the memories she refuses to face.
From the family that fell apart.
From the thoughts that become unbearable when the music stops.

So she drinks. She parties. She finds trouble-and Devon is always waiting at the center of it.

Devon is the boy she can never quite leave behind. Their relationship is volatile, addictive, and built from all the wounds they refuse to heal. They hurt each other, forgive each other, and fall back into bed like neither of them knows how to exist without the other.

Then there's Rhys.

Her father's best friend.
A former soldier.
A man who should never look at her the way he does.

When Elitta is sent to live under Rhys's roof, boundaries become increasingly difficult to maintain. He is older, controlled, and accustomed to keeping everything-and everyone-within reach. But Elitta awakens something in him that discipline can't suppress.

Something possessive.

Something dangerous.

And when their attraction finally crosses a line neither of them can uncross, Elitta finds herself caught between the boy who knows every ugly part of her and the man who makes her feel dangerously seen.

But secrets don't stay buried forever.

As Devon begins to realize what has been happening behind closed doors, jealousy turns to betrayal, desire turns to obsession, and the chaos Elitta once used to escape her pain begins consuming everyone around her.

Sometimes love feels like salvation.

Sometimes it looks exactly like the thing that will destroy you.

And before Elitta can decide who she wants, she has to discover whether she can survive without either of them.
