Rebounding from a shattered heart, Ember Solis is out of touch with the innocence and softness she once knew. She wears her grief like a coat of armor. She uses it to keep people at a distance. Rain Fortin is a lone wolf and like Ember, he is shouldering massive heartache. He reluctantly rises to the leadership of The Den. It is a life he wants nothing to do with. It is a life that has taken so much from him.

When Ember returns to campus, it feels like she's everywhere, even when he tries to hide.

Will Ember's strength be Rain's undoing? Will his tenderness become her salvation?

The truth always comes out...
