Lila Monroe wakes up in captivity with no memory of her seizures and a growing certainty that the man holding her knows her body better than she does. Vance Calder insists he took her to save her life, but his control blurs into obsession as their days stretch into a brutal, intimate stalemate. What forms between them is not forgiveness or trust, but a slow, dangerous understanding that neither of them can escape unscarred.
