When Betts meets Aiden at the candy store where she works, their connection is like a sugar rush to the heart and Betts already knows they are destined to be.

Betts has only ever kept one secret from her best friend, Jo, but suddenly there’s a long list of things Jo wouldn’t understand. Because Jo doesn’t see how good Aiden is for Betts. She finds him needy. Possessive. Controlling.

She’s wrong. With a love sweet, nothing else matters, until it turns sour.

Anica Mrose Rissi weaves a gripping, compulsively readable novel about what happens when what feels like love turns into something more dangerous.
