"Two different worlds. One dangerous secret. And a tension that could burn them both to ashes."
Dimitra thought escaping to the sun-drenched coast of Malibu would finally silence the dark whispers of her past in Berlin. She wanted a normal life, a fresh start at university, and a chance to breathe again. But peace is an illusion when you are running from monsters.
Enter Joseph Clardis.
Cold, arrogant, and dangerously breathtaking, he is the MBA student everyone warns you about. To the university, he is a distant god. To Dimitra, he is her shadow-the fierce, possessive guardian her father hired to keep her alive. Under the same roof, they live as roommates bound by strict rules. On campus, they must act like complete strangers.
But as the secrets of Berlin begin to crawl into California, the cold mask Joseph wears starts to crack. Every stolen glance in the crowded corridors, every silent car ride, and every whispered warning turns into a suffocating game of survival and hidden desire.
She is running from her past. He is guarding her present. But who will save them from each other?
