It was one dark night that brought Damon Wolfe and Sophie Parker together.

When Damon shows up looking for her, she isn't sure if he's friend or enemy, but she knows he could easily rip apart what is left of her heart.

Story
Ten years ago, I was seventeen, spending summers with my wealthy family, and friends on Hawk Island. One terrible night, I blacked out. The next morning, my best friend, Melanie, was gone—vanished without a trace. Today, I go back. To the island. To my sister's wedding. To a group of privileged people with whom I've never belonged. To secrets that someone will kill to keep. A storm is coming. A storm that could allow a kidnapper to escape, or a killer to murder again, and reveal the true faces of All the Pretty People.
