Some loves never fade. Some break you open. Some build you into something that cannot be erased. Before she was a war hero. Before the Artemis War. Before the Terran Federation. Kendra Foster-Briggs was a sensie star, a survivor, and a woman falling in love with someone she wasn’t supposed to keep. Rose Emmons was everything Kendra didn’t know she needed—brilliant, brave, and burning with a fire that refused to be controlled. Their connection was electric, dangerous, and real in a way nothing else ever had been.

Sixteen-year-old Mya Byrne has three problems: her long-term boyfriend broke up with her over a stupid misunderstanding, her step-dad's a psychopath who might just try and kill her, and—oh, yeah—she's just gone into labour two weeks early in the middle of maths class. As Mya navigates her first month of being a new mum, she resolves to fix her relationship, keep herself and her baby safe, and hopefully get her step-dad put behind bars.

Money and private schools, our families' lavish parties, and posh New York City apartments - it was all mere window dressing. What was real was our obsessive love, which grew right along with us as we moved toward adulthood. It consumed me, and only in his arms did I feel wanted and safe. But I have a secret. It's big and, to some, unforgivable. And it's why I let Reed destroy me, or maybe I destroyed us.

Dancing is all I have left and every day I feel completely alone. Silence has become the theme song to my life. She said to find some joy and light, but I don't know how. Mostly, I feel surrounded in darkness...that is, until I meet him.
