All Quincy Anderson wants is to enjoy a life of quiet, academic solitude hidden away from the world and all the people she’s never been able to understand. But it isn't long before the dark sins of her past—and her complicated family legacy—find her. And no matter how determined she is to keep to herself and not ruffle any feathers, her fellow professors at Avernia College want her gone.
Unfortunately for them, she has one very specific reason to stay: Eden Ivers, the only woman to ever capture, and promptly break, her heart.
Once upon a time, it was Eden who began unraveling the mysterious deaths and blood-soaked societies linked to the elusive school, putting herself (and Quincy) at the center of a dangerous game. It was Eden who became a chaotic source of destruction in Quincy's life: a car wreck she never could look away from. All through her undergraduate years, Quincy was caught in her orbit, putting out the fires that blazed in her destructive path...until one day, without warning, Eden walked out of Quincy's life. Now years later, the two women are thrust back into one another’s lives. But neither is the same as she was a decade ago…and the blood-soaked legacy Eden once so carelessly challenged still lays in wait, ready to claim them both.
