Imogen ‘Ginny’ Fairchild has always been drawn to the Thorne twins, but it’s Lysander's quiet, gentle soul that pulls her in. Just as she’s ready to confess her feelings, Lyle urges her to be with his brother, Cassian, instead. 

Against her better judgment, Ginny agrees. She lets Cass into her life, piece by guarded piece, even as her connection to Lyle deepens in unexpected ways. But as their lives intertwine, what begins as love spirals into obsession—a dangerous bond tightening around her like a vice.
