“What would you say if some rich recluse swooped in and convinced someone you cared about to give up their apartment and job seemingly overnight, for a deal that sounds way too good to be true? Sounds super shady, right? Anyone who’s read Bluebeard knows how that little saga ends.”

Grant Harcourt has it all going for him. The money, the swagger, the big house on the hill…and scar tissue covering 25% of his body. He’s spent years trying to claw his way back from a life-altering trauma, and the unstoppable force of nature that just dropped into his lap is the first person to make him look up from his own misfortune. He offers Enola a once-in-a-lifetime chance to escape her minimum wage existence. All she has to do is put up with him, and make the occasional grilled cheese sandwich.

Surrounded on all sides by street politics and a cast of benevolent outlaws, scrappy street artist Enola is quick to accept when Grant extends the invitation. Two tiny problems: She’s really starting to like the guy, and just when she feels safe enough to open her carefully guarded heart, a deadly secret from her past resurfaces, threatening their fragile peace.
