My entire world has been turned upside down.

With one adjustment after another.

The truth of my father's betrayal cuts deep.

Now, my little sister, Clover, is struggling to deal with day-to-day life.

I've given everything for her. I joined Defiance to keep her safe. And now, being reunited with our older sister who we thought was gone, I don't have to go it alone. But it's not enough. Clover's grades are declining, and I refuse to let her fail.

Enter Sadie, the feisty blonde tutor. A woman who takes my breath away, despite hurling accusations that the club is Clover's issue.

She might be small in stature, but what she lacks in size, she makes up for in sassiness. Sadie doesn't hold back, letting me know her thoughts on the club, and me. But what is clear mutual loathing needs to be set aside, because Sadie is the only one who can help Clover thrive.

Sadie aggravates me, yet something pulls me toward her. She's a beacon, but beneath the light shines secrets. There's a poison running through her hidden past. I just have to hope the venom doesn't paralyze me before it's too late.
