About the book
Sam is back—but home is no longer the place she remembers. With pieces of her memory missing and the truth of what happened to her still fractured, Sam is forced to navigate a life that feels both familiar and dangerously wrong. Lauren wants to protect her. Mateo insists he only wants answers. And somewhere between concern, obsession, and control, the lines begin to blur. As Mateo spirals deeper into his need to find Sam and understand what happened, old wounds reopen, buried truths surface, and the people around them are forced to decide how far they are willing to go in the name of love, guilt, and possession. Some things break cleanly. Others shatter—and cut everyone who tries to hold them
