Kensington Worth had a vision for her
senior year. It involved her best friends, her posh
private school in downtown Chicago and time alone with
her piano until her audition was perfected, a guaranteed
ticket into the best music programs in the world.
Instead, a nightmare took over.
It didn’t happen all at once, but her life unraveled
quickly—a tiny thread that evil somehow kept pulling
until everything precious was taken from her. She was
suddenly living miles away from her old life, trapped in
an existence she didn’t choose—one determined to destroy
her from the inside, leaving only hate and anger behind.
It didn’t help that her neighbor, the one whose eyes held
danger, was enjoying every second of her fall.
Owen Harper was trouble, his heart wild and his past the
kind that’s spoken about in whispers. And somehow, his
path was always intertwined with Kensington’s, every
interaction crushing her, ruining her hope for any future
better than her now. Sometimes, though, what everyone
warns is trouble, is exactly what the heart needs. Owen
Harper was consumed with darkness, and it held onto his
soul for years. When Kensington looked at him, she saw a
boy who’d gotten good at taking others down when they
threatened his carefully balanced life. But the more she
looked, the more she saw other things too—good things…
things to admire.
Things…to love. Things that made
her want to be reckless.
And those things…they were
the scariest of all.
