One broken heart. One dangerous game. One night that changes everything.

After a brutal betrayal by his boyfriend, Eli returns to his quiet hometown to lick his wounds. But peace was never an option -- not when Damien, his older brother's best friend, is still there. Grown-up, rough around the edges, and watching Eli like he's something to devour.

When the town's twisted summer tradition -- The Midsummer Chase -- turns the night into a masked, purge-style game of predators and prey, Eli finds himself alone in the cornfields... and very much being hunted.

But it isn't just anyone chasing him. It's Damien. And he's done watching from the shadows. He wants Eli. He always has. And tonight, he's going to take what should never have been his.

In the heat of one summer night, Eli will be caught. Claimed. And changed forever...
