Story of Beck and Dee. He's been in love with her almost since their first meet but she's been in a bad place with her locked away dark secrets. 
 Beck is an absolute sweetheart and gorgeous to boot. He perseveres with Dee, staying close even as she constantly pushes him away. He knows she's close to the breaking point even though her closest friends seem clueless. Add in a coke-head employee of Dee's gone AWOL and a mysterious individual looking for him and the plot really starts to move. 
 And then YIKES there's an event I never saw coming that had me stop reading to take in what just took place. I know an author likes to put in plot twists to keep the reader engaged but did she have to twist so far ??? I can't stop the waterworks. Not to give anything away but there's more tense moments added on post EVENT. Thank God for the epilogue to move me back to my happy place. 
 Once again excellent writing, great story, pages of banter-filled exchanges, swoonworthy romance and a great supporting cast of carry-through characters.
