After escaping her past, Kate builds her life around a single purpose: staying hidden. But when the unexpected threatens to unravel her tightly kept secrets, her will to remain alone falters.

Kate ran, planning to leave behind a shell of a life, giving herself strict rules to live by in order to keep the past hidden. But these rules have her trading one prison for another.

Then Kai sneaks into her life, shoving through her shields, getting her to break every one of her rules. An unexpected surprise threatens to unravel her secrets and strip away the control she fought so hard for. But she embraces it, diving into the unknown with Kai.

When her past catches up with her, she battles to keep those she has come to love protected, refusing to relent the strength she found within. But when stuck in a place she never wants to return to and with no chance of escape, she fears losing everything she's allowed herself to cherish.



This was a book that took me a moment to really get into because I was so frustrated by Kate and how closed off she was to everyone around her. I knew there had to be a reason, however I struggled at first because I just wanted to grab a hold of her and shake some sense into her. She had people in her life that wanted to be there for her, but she kept everyone at such a distance and was so cold towards them that at first she wasn't my favorite person.

However, I am SOOOOOO glad that I didn't give up on her! With Kai forcing her to let someone in her life by not giving up even though she did her best to push him away her walls began coming down and she quickly became a favorite character. She is really so strong and the things she was hiding from in her past were the reason that she wanted to keep herself from getting discovered or hurt ever again.

I promise, this is one book that will have you feeling ALL THE FEELS and then some! You will be mad, sad, happy and put on the edge of your seat.

Definitely a must read book for sure!
