When Lila Hart meets Ash Rivers, she isn't looking for salvation. She's barely holding herself together, carrying a lifetime of bruised memories she's learned to hide behind silence. Ash is the first person who sees the cracks-and doesn't look away.What begins as a quiet pull becomes something far more dangerous: a devotion sharp enough to cut, a connection that feels like drowning and breathing at the same time. Their pasts haunt them, but it's the choices they make together that ruin them.When old debts come back to claim Ash, Lila steps into a world of violence, loyalty, and consequence she never meant to enter. Together, they'll ignite a chain of events that can't be undone. Love becomes a weapon. Protection becomes obsession.And once the first line is crossed, there's no way back.
