Insufferable. Completely insane.And for the first time, Kayden Alves has encountered someone who refuses to be intimidated by him.But Burlington is not the fresh start Anne imagined.The town has secrets buried beneath its quiet streets.The campus has secrets of its own.And Kayden?He may be the darkest one of them all.The closer Anne gets to uncovering what everyone is desperate to hide, the more dangerous her new life becomes.Because some places don't welcome newcomers.Some secrets were never meant to be found.And some people leave scars without ever touching you.
