Rileythefirst
Dante Kanai is drowning in a world Riley Cooper doesn't even know exists. A world where silence is survival, and love is a liability. She thinks he's just her annoyingly overprotective best friend, the one who always has her back-even when she doesn't ask for it. But Dante knows the truth: every move he makes is a calculated risk, every glance at her is a temptation he can't afford.
Riley is running out of time, and she doesn't even know it. Dante swore she'd never find out what lurks in the shadows of his past-or how far he's willing to go to keep her safe. But secrets have a way of bleeding into the light. And when the truth finally hits, it won't just change Riley's world.
It will destroy it at the price of her life.
