Sabrina knows a single choice can save everyone she loves, but it requires giving up everything shes worked for.
Freddys life is a painful façade. Hes the family joker whose mother still does his laundry, but its easier to go along and get along than fight the role he plays. His smile puts strangers at ease, and his life is peaceful contentment. But none of it is real. Only his best friend, Sabrina, knows how invisible Freddy feels. She sees his real laugh and gets his dark sarcasm, which is exactly why he can never pursue his growing feelings for her. He learned, long ago, how devastating rejection can be.
When TIs adversaries try to use Freddy for his knowledge and connections, his façade is blown to smithereens. His only hope is the woman who refuses to cross the boundaries of their friendship. Is saving Freddy worth giving up everything Sabrinas fought to achieve?
