Juliette has mastered the art of pretending she's fine. Fine with the family that suffocates her. Fine with the ex who left her broken. Fine with a life that feels smaller every day.
Then a chance encounter with quiet, handsome Conner sparks something new and frightening—because when he looks at her, it feels like he sees every crack she's trying to hide.
But Conner isn't just fighting for her heart. He's fighting the nightmares of a childhood he never really escaped.
Loving him means fighting the past Juliette swore she'd never face again.
Maybe the real risk isn't the trauma.
Maybe it's discovering that love might be the only place they're truly safe.
