Sebastian Stone thought Savannah would be his escape. The Sunder guitarist carries a criminal record that stretches for miles, and Georgia seemed like the perfect place to disappear from his mistakes. Then he meets Shea Bentley. Behind her sweet exterior, Sebastian recognizes something darker, something that mirrors his own hidden depths. Their connection builds on deception from the start. Sebastian believes he knows her secrets, but Shea's past runs deeper than he ever imagined. When their histories crash together, both must fight for a future they never thought they deserved. Sebastian faces an impossible choice: sacrifice everything he has grown to love or watch his family and Shea pay the price. Two damaged souls circle each other, bound by lies and consumed by desire. The question becomes whether their combined darkness will destroy them or whether they can finally break free and learn to breathe.
