I hate everything about him.
He was never there when I needed him. And now that he’s back, he thinks he can rewrite who I am. He wants to change the way I dress—my makeup, heels, and unmentionables.
He wants to strip away everything that makes me…me, and turn me into his version of what a man is supposed to be. I refuse. So I push back, and we clash. Hard.
When things spiral too far between us, we’re forced to spend a camping trip together to fix what’s wrong between us, but we end up stranded in a desert with no one else to rely on but each other.
Out there, survival strips away pride, anger, and lies, and the truth becomes impossible to ignore.
Because sometimes there’s a thin line between disdain and desire.
