Seventeen‑year‑old Chloe finally thinks she’s found everything she’s been missing: excitement, attention, and a boy who seems to understand her completely.  Kieran is charming, spontaneous, and impossibly romantic. At first.

​

The summer romance unfolds quickly but cracks soon appear. The jealousy. The possessiveness. The explosive anger that always becomes her fault. As Kieran’s behavior spirals from unsettling to terrifying, Chloe realizes she’s trapped in a relationship she never saw coming — and one she may not survive.

 

To break free, she’ll need courage she never knew she had. Because Kieran isn’t just losing control. He’s determined not to lose her. She must resist his attempts to win her back and then fight against his fury when she turns him down. 

 

A realistic story of a teen romance gone wrong — and the strength it takes to walk away.
