I committed a crime when I was twenty-one. I fell in love.

After I was raped, Trey healed me. He protected and cherished me. We were cousins and best friends, until we crossed a forbidden line.

Now we’re in love. Trey says we’ll be safe. He says only love matters—nothing else. But we’re breaking the law, and I’m scared.

Our love is forbidden in most states. The last sexual taboo is a criminal offense in Idaho, punishable by life in prison. We’re keeping our dangerous love a secret—or so we think.

But secrets don’t stay hidden. Not for long. The truth of our scandalous love threatens to destroy us and our family.

Because Trey isn’t really my cousin after all. He is something more.
