Adélie Ferrars was born into wealth, trained to be dangerous, and ultimately became a patient in the psychiatric ward where society decided she belonged. Everyone knows what she did. No one knows why. Adélie spends her days isolated, talking to herself and avoiding the men who terrify her. The other inmates know her as the beautiful, unpredictable girl with a violent past. Then Aaron Lawrence arrives. Arrogant, tattooed, dangerously charming, and carrying secrets of his own, Aaron is assigned to share Adélie’s room. At first, he sees her as a mystery worth provoking. Then he realizes she’s afraid of him. For the first time, Aaron doesn’t want to break someone’s defenses. He wants to earn their trust. Inside a place built to contain broken people, two strangers with blood on their hands begin discovering that sometimes the most dangerous thing isn’t madness. It’s what happens when someone finally sees you.
