Alessandra Bennett was raised on one rule:
trust no one.
It's why she's alone. Why she learned to read people. Why she can't tell anyone about the illegal job she's trapped in.

Then she meets Freddie Kent.

A rare night off, a shadowy London pub, a
famous actor with the unlikely ability to read
her the way she reads everyone else. She
soon finds they share even more—queerness,
deep wounds, and dangerous secrets. She
tells herself he's a temporary escape from the
threats hanging over her. But as the ghosts
of her past close in, he might just be the only
one who can help her survive the week.
