SYNOPSIS
Atlas
I know what they say. Grief makes you do things. After the year Iβve had, Iβm bathing in it.
Dadβs dead. Mom isβ¦ mom. My boyfriend and best friend are too busy screwing to comfort me.
When a letter arrives with no return address telling me where to go for a new start, I donβt hesitate. I pack some clothes and whatβs left of my life and run.
But I didnβt expect the fire waiting for me when I arrived. I didnβt count on the burn.
Rowdy Wray. They call him the lion of Idlewild. Meβ¦ I call him boss. Heβs the key to my past and the path to my future.
What happens next is our twisted secret.
Rowdy
Who is this girl? Atlas Beck. This damaged young thing shows up at my place of business and tells me sheβs my new receptionist.
I should have fired her.
I would have fired her if she hadnβt begged so beautifully.
Atlas told me not to let her go, but she didnβt know what she was asking. And now? Itβs too late to put the crazy back in the cage.
