Overview

How do you choose between the woman who makes you whole and the woman who makes you feel alive? Evie Thorne has a life most people would die for. In the heart of rainy Seattle, she has built a sanctuary with Grace, a doctor whose love is as steady as a heartbeat and as warm as a summer morning. For three years, Grace has been Evie’s anchor, her home, and her soul. Their future is laid out in sage-green paint swatches and the quiet promise of a house in the suburbs. It is a perfect, beautiful life. But perfection can be a cage. Enter Rebecca St. Clair. A high-stakes investor with a predatory grace and eyes like cold emeralds, Rebecca doesn't want Evie’s heart she wants her submission. She offers a world of dark hotel rooms, expensive silk, and a raw, primal passion that Grace’s gentle hands could never touch. Rebecca is the storm that Evie didn't know she was waiting for, a dangerous addiction that turns Evie's "reliable" world into a lie she can't stop telling. Now, Evie is living a double life that is starting to bleed through the seams. In the daylight, she is the devoted partner. In the shadows, she is a woman being remade by a stranger’s touch. The guilt is a fever, but the craving is a drug. One woman is her sanctuary. The other is her ruin. As the secrets mount and the stakes reach a breaking point, Evie must decide: Is she willing to destroy the only person who truly loves her for a fire that might leave her with nothing but ash?
