Claire Monroe is no stranger to darkness. Having grown up without a family of her own, she’s seen just how cruel and cold the world can be. But then she went to college and left it all behind, found a family in her best friend, and healed from the trauma of her past. Unfortunately, none of that brings her any closer to knowing who she is or what she should do with her life.
As the summer before senior year ends, Claire is no closer to knowing anything about herself… until she meets a dark, mysterious man who introduces her to a whole new world of riches, pleasure, and passion. Suddenly, she finds herself halfway across the world under the watchful eye of Remington Boudreaux. Gorgeous, wealthy, and for some reason that Claire can’t fathom, he is oddly intrigued by her.
It has all the makings of a wild summer fling, but the deeper Claire falls into her best friend’s brother, the more everything changes. Soon, Claire realizes that being a part of his world means she must be willing to accept the circumstances she clawed her way out of all those years ago.
Can she embrace the darkness she was forged in and come out on top? Or will it swallow her entirely?
