You do not need to preorder this book. If is set up for those who want to do it early.
Crescent Wellington thought that returning to college would help her reclaim the parts of herself that survival had stolen.
Instead, it became the beginning of another war.
After spending months rebuilding her life beside Fransisco “Faxx” Wellington, Crescent finally starts allowing herself to believe in something dangerous: peace. Between motherhood, school, healing, and the intoxicating possessiveness of the man she married, she begins settling into a life that almost feels normal.
But Union City has never been kind enough to let happiness exist untouched.
What started as subtle attention in the halls of Union City State University begins to spiral into obsession when lines are crossed that should never have been crossed. A dangerous attraction. A growing fixation. A man who does not fully understand what it means to want something that already belongs to Faxx.
And Faxx notices everything.
 
As the pressure surrounding Crescent intensifies, the darkness inside Sandstorm begins resurfacing in ways even Crescent struggles to control. Because while she is trying to build a future focused on healing children, protecting her daughters, and finally becoming more than her trauma, the world around her keeps demanding violence instead.
Meanwhile, the custody battle over Dylan turns uglier. Enemies from the past begin moving in silence. Loyalty inside the Quad gets tested. And the deeper Crescent settles into love, family, and stability, the more terrifying it becomes knowing exactly how much she has to lose.
 
In Union City, obsession is never harmless.
And loving Crescent Wellington has always been the fastest way to start a war.
 
Again, for the people in the back: You do not need to preorder this book. DO NOT.
