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?
