When Darian Frost walks in—the only person she's ever encountered who emits nothing but nerve-shattering static—she becomes obsessed with breaking through his frequency barrier.

What begins as mutual exploitation evolves into an addiction neither expected; their broken frequencies creating a destructive harmony that could either heal their deepest wounds or leave them permanently scarred.

Delilah Kane vowed she'd never return to Blackwater Bay after the scandal that tore her family apart five years ago. But when her estranged sister Ivy's fiancé is arrested for money laundering three weeks before their wedding, Delilah has no choice but to come home for damage control. As the older sister who always cleaned up Ivy's messes, Delilah expects the usual drama. What she doesn't expect is for Ivy's ex-fiancé, Vaughn Blackwood, to show up at her hotel room door six months later—out on bail, stripped of his fortune, and confessing that Ivy set him up to take the fall for her own crimes. The evidence Vaughn presents is undeniable. Delilah knows the sister everyone thinks is perfect has always been capable of calculating cruelty. But helping the man Ivy nearly destroyed means betraying her own flesh and blood. Even worse, the simmering attraction between Delilah and Vaughn—the one they'd both desperately ignored during family holidays and wedding planning—now threatens to explode into something neither can control. As they work together to expose Ivy's network of financial crimes, Delilah finds herself falling for the one man she's forbidden to want. And when Ivy discovers their secret alliance, she doesn't just threaten to destroy Vaughn completely—she vows to take her sister down with him. In Blackwater Bay, where old money rules and family secrets run deeper than the harbor, Delilah must choose between the sister who betrayed her trust and the man who makes her question everything she thought she knew about loyalty, desire, and how far she'll go for the wrong kind of love.
