Northwood College was home to a decades old, dark and twisted secret.
A secret that could kill.

LILAH
They stole my innocence and my dignity, yet still I stayed.
They had me by the throat, yet still I stayed.
No matter how painful it was, they’d convinced me it was my choice and so I stayed.
Until him.
Until he gave me a reason to breathe again, to hope, to live and maybe…love.
But he wanted it all.
Not just the scraps that could go unnoticed.
He wanted my body, my heart and ultimately my soul.
Even if it would kill us both.

DECLAN
She’d been kept captive for too long.
Her scars told a story, beautiful and tragic like a priceless canvas, ripped from its frame.
Resigned to her fate, she took refuge in my arms but only for a moment.
One moment was all it took.
I couldn’t let her go.
I’d turn my back on everything just to have her, hold her, keep her as my own.
I’d risk it all... she wasn’t the only one who needed saving.
