Josh built walls for a reason. She was stupid enough to think she could save him.
Sarah can't help her obsession. She hates him, but she can't stop until he's hers.-Josh, the man who treats kindness like a weakness, who proves daily that some men are better left broken. She tells herself she can fix him. She's certain of it.
Two words that rewrite her DNA he gives her: "Good girl."
Now she's lost. She'll betray herself for him and hate him even as she craves his approval.

When Josh finds out, the betrayal confirms what he's always known: letting people in is a mistake. He pushes her away because he's proven himself right. You can't trust anyone.
But you can't forget someone's breaking points. He's already tasted her desperation, fed her need obsession, watched her unravel for his approval. Now he's the one drowning-following her, needing her, becoming the very madness he cast out.
The obsession doesn't choose sides. It consumes them both.
