One mistake turned obsession.
One secret turned dangerous.
One love that was never supposed to happen.

Sally Reardon was supposed to keep her head down.
Get through college. Heal quietly. Forget what those two monsters did to her.

But forgetting is impossible when the nightmares keep clawing at her skin.
And then there's him.
Connor Mercer. Sharp-tongued. Brooding. Off-limits.

He wasn't supposed to see her. Not like that.
But once he did, he couldn't look away.
And when the truth comes out-the bruises, the panic, the pain-
he stops pretending.
Even if loving her might cost him everything.

She's his student.
He's her safe place.
And the world isn't ready for what they are together.
