"Aubrey Duncan has never completely forgiven herself for the death of her younger sister from a drug overdose. Getting a degree in counseling is one way to move on, and she hopes that being the assistant facilitator for a campus addiction support group will give her a chance to help someone in the way she failed to help her sister. Enigmatic Maxx Demelo--and how he makes her feel--is definitely not part of her plans. In no world should Aubrey be falling for a group member, but there's something addictive about both Maxx and the dark city club scene where he makes a living. In his arms, Aubrey can break free from her everyday, hardworking self and escape into the passion he promises. Beneath Maxx's carefully constructed mask of independent self-confidence, however, is somebody who is trapped in his own personal hell. Loving him feeds a longing that Aubrey didn't even know she had, but it may be what she should fear the most"--Page 4 of cover.
