When Mia leaves the familiarity of the UK for a university in the US, she expects challenges and new experiences, but nothing prepares her for a collision with the shadowy world of the mafia. As she navigates her courses and new friendships, a dangerous charm pulls her deeper into a network of power, secrets, and betrayal. In a game where trust is a rare commodity and attraction can be lethal, Mia must decide how far she's willing to go to keep her dreams-and herself-alive. Under the bright lights of her new life, every shadow holds a mystery, and not every story she's been told is true.
