Despite the ghosts he battles every day, his best friend Zoe Peyton finds a way to make him smile. But he has one solid vow: his friendship with Zoe is sacred and he’ll keep himself in the friendzone if it kills him.

Zoe has her own painful past. One that rears its ugly head when she’s attacked in her bed, barely escaping when Cruz rushes to her aid. As she struggles to separate her past from her present, she can’t help but wonder if she’s been wrong to keep Cruz at arm’s length for so long.

When the attacker strikes again, Cruz refuses to let someone else he cares about die. He’ll stay by Zoe’s side until danger subsides, but as the stakes raise, the walls he’s built around his heart crumble. And as they make their way closer to the truth, the enemy is nearly impossible to see.
