From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling writer of The Vixen and the Vet comes an unforgettable story about loss, redemption, and the healing power of love.

I am Cassidy Porter .

My dad, Paul Isaac Porter, was convicted two decades back for the brutal murder of twelve innocent girls.

Though I had been only eight years old at the time, I am aware-every day of my life-that I am his child, his only son.

To protect the world from the poison in my own veins, I live a quiet lifestyle, from the grid, away from humanity.

We promised myself, and my mom, not to infect innocent lives with the darkness that swirls within me, waiting to make itself known.

It’s a promise I would have got kept . . . if Brynn Cadogan hadn’t stumbled into my entire life.

Now I exist between heaven and hell: falling for a woman who would like to like me, while almost all along reminding myself that I have to remain . . .

Unloved.

Contains mature themes.
