Trauma and intrigue bring an unlikely couple together in a sleepy Illinois suburb...

Bex Mahoney knows all too well what it's like to be a loner. As a girl who'd much rather get lost in books and Netflix than makeup and school dances, it's taken her all of six months to adjust to a new high school and the friends who come with it. But as much as she wants to find some peace following the death of her father, she can't seem to grasp hold of it like she should. That is until she's partnered up with a boy in chem who seems to carry more weight on his shoulders than Bex ever has.

Midnight Turner is lost in a dark world that Bex can't even come close to touching. It's because of his mysterious persona, though, that her intrigue with him grows stronger by the day. But when a flashback into Midnight's past has him yanking Bex under chem tables and crying in Latin against her neck, Bex makes it her new life goal to figure him out.

When Bex's closest friend tells her to steer clear of Midnight, a former member of a dangerous cult, an already insatiable curiosity in Bex grows deeper. But with this curiosity blooms new love. The kind that neither of them ever saw coming. Torn between a past he can't change and a future she desires, both Midnight and Bex must learn to live in the present where the demons from Midnight's prior life return to either haunt them...or worse.
