Keris Bradford is a woman on the brink.

Of what?

She doesn't quite know.

Her life is shifting, rapidly, and the sudden, captivating intrusion of Laken Kimble isn't exactly...reassuring.

For Keris, Laken is comfort and risk wrapped in one very appealing package.

For Laken, Keris is barrier and providence all at once.

For both, there arises a need to navigate those contrasts to a conclusion neither was looking for...a need to answer a simple question.

If you want this...what are you willing to offer in exchange?
