Raven Calloway
Three months ago, my father died.
In the blink of an eye, my whole life changed.
I'm homeless, penniless, and adrift.
Until my father's best friend, Rhys Flannery, offers me a place to stay.
He grounds me in ways I never expected.
Sets me on fire in ways I've only dreamed about.
But he's keeping secrets that threaten to destroy us both.
How do I trust him with my heart when he's the only one capable of shattering it?

Rhys Flannery
Three months ago, my best friend was murdered.
When his daughter shows up on my doorstep, I can't turn her away.
She's been my obsession since the day I met her.
But she doesn't know the secrets I'm keeping.
Telling her what I know will destroy her entire world.
Keeping the truth from her may destroy us.
I refuse to let that happen.
I will protect her, even if I have to destroy myself to do it.
