Publisher Description
A sexy, dark romantic thriller—with a shocking twist—by the author of Everything We Never Said.
Perfect for fans of Binding 13!
When eighteen-year-old River Santos’s house burned down, she lost everything. Her clothes. Her guitar. Her songbook.
Most importantly, she lost her father.
But when someone anonymously donates two million dollars to her GoFundMe, it’s like she’s won the worst sort of lottery. She’s a millionaire, but at what cost?
With every person who comes into the diner where she works, she wonders, "Was it you?" The only person she’s sure didn’t donate the money is her extremely hot—and extremely standoffish—coworker, Logan Evans. Ever since he started at the diner, he’s acted like he hates her. Which is why she’s shocked when he helps her save face in front of her ex…
Their attraction can’t be denied, but when River discovers a long-hidden family secret, she suddenly finds herself questioning everyone in her life. Her dad, who wasn’t as perfect as he seemed. Her chaotic mother, who left without so much as a goodbye at the beginning of her senior year. The anonymous donor, whose intentions may not have been altruistic after all. And most especially Logan, who has dark secrets of his own.
After the fire, River thought she had hit rock bottom. But as it turns out, there’s always more to lose…
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Eighteen-year-old aspiring singer River Santos has lost everything: her boyfriend after he dumped her; her estranged mother, now declared "missing"; and her guitar, songbooks, and father in a devastating house fire. Not even an anonymous $2 million donation to River's GoFundMe page can kindle hope from the smoldering ashes of River's future. At least River's best friend, Tawny, always has her back. And while Logan, her new coworker at the diner where she and Tawny work, is frustratingly aloof, he's also a seriously hot distraction. Soon River's innocent crush sparks, sizzles, and flares into breathless romantic entanglement. But as she struggles to make sense of her and Logan's whirlwind romance and searches for clues as to the identity of her mysterious benefactor, River uncovers dark family secrets—and learns that she's not the only one hiding something. Skillful plotting and shocking reveals propel this twisty, Arizona-set romantic thriller from Harlow (Everything We Never Said). River and Logan's mutual yearning, rendered in alternating dual-perspective chapters interspersed with letters to River from her missing mother, balance palpable grief with steamy, page-turning drama and tense mystery. River is half Filipina and assumed half white; supporting characters read as white. Ages 14–up.
