Publisher's Synopsis
Everything seems simple when you're a child...until it isn't.
After a childhood of trauma, betrayal, and pain, Jaeda has learned that the safest place to be is unseen. She told the truth, and no one believed her. So why bother trying anymore? Three years after everyone she loved took her abuser's side, she returns to college, determined to move forward. But when she's paired with her ex-best friend, Cassiel, for a term project, his cold hatred threatens to destroy the carefully built walls around her heart.
Jaeda thinks Cass's cruelty is as simple as truth and lies. But she's about to learn that nothing is as it seems...and the secrets he's hiding are more dangerous than she ever imagined. And when the truth finally comes to light, Jaeda learns too late that some betrayals aren't just painful.
They're deadly.
