When I first met Kyler Blackwood, he was a bruised and battered boy with fire in his eyes and nowhere safe to land. Since the first time he kissed me, he became my best-kept secret, my quiet rebellion, my haven in the storm.

Until fate forced us apart, making us pretend to be strangers. Years later, time hasn't dulled our instant connection, or erased the way we fit together. We were never meant to cross the line.

And tell ourselves this arrangement is only temporary. But with each passing day, the lie starts to feel more like the truth. And, with every stolen touch, Kye feels more like mine.

Because some things were never meant to be pretend. But there are secrets that refuse to remain buried. And some dangers are closer than we ever imagined.
