On the surface, Chloe Steele appears to be a normal eighteen-year-old girl, but underneath, she carries a dark secret. This secret propels her onto a journey that takes her to rural southeast Alabama, where she serves as a live-in caregiver for the elderly Les and Nellie Grady while attending the local college. When she meets the handsome, yet mysterious Will Finncannon, however, Chloe's path of self-discovery takes a dark turn, leading her into a world she never knew existed--a world where the line between fantasy and reality is sometimes blurred.
