High school teacher Jazmin Valencia has survived heartbreak by constructing walls—unfeeling, remote, and strictly in control, she refuses to let the world close enough to wound her again. But her detachment shatters when she takes notice of a student who seems as lost and hurting as she once was. Determined to save the girl from darkness, Jazmin throws herself into her care, all the while battling a dangerous attraction that threatens to consume them both. Jazmin is forced to choose: keep her heart barricaded, or risk utter ruin for a taste of something forbidden. She may lose the very fortress she's built to survive... but what if losing herself is the only way to truly live?
