Safety was the reward. Until the night everything fractures. Secrets surface. Loyalties shift. And the man her family always considered “safe” begins to show cracks she can’t ignore.

Walking away was supposed to be simple. Falling for her wasn’t. As tension escalates and the illusion of control begins to unravel, Ella and Noah must decide whether what they have is strong enough to withstand exposure.
