Francesca has just been trying to survive. After her mother’s death, survival meant keeping the house together, protecting her grandmother, and staying one step ahead of the man who made their lives a living nightmare. It meant keeping her head down, asking for nothing, and expecting even less. Then they stepped in. Her three best friends, Ryan, Christian and Jamie. What started as protection became something more. Something consuming. Something none of them expected. And something none of them are willing to walk away from. But can Frankie survive knowing they’d destroy everything—including themselves—to keep her safe?
