description
Talia James’ traumatic past completely defines the way she lives her life. From serious trust issues to nightmares and panic attacks, she struggles to get through each day, relying on her family -- what remains of it -- and best friends. Romance in any form is taboo, simply because she considers herself too broken and unworthy of a loving partner. But when Theo barges in on her life out of nowhere, she suddenly has trouble getting a hold of her bearings. He makes her feel wanted, and cared for in a way she has never experienced before. Jealousy, shy flirting and worst of all, dependance on this man all eventually begin taking over her life, but she can’t let them take control. Not after everything that has happened.
Theo Henderson has been through stuff no teenager should have to face. Moving an entire continent away from his family after his mother’s death from Cancer, facing betrayal at the hands of the girl he thought would be the mother to his children, living alone in an unfamiliar city with no-one to share his feelings with, Theo thinks life has handed him quite more than his fair share of crap. His decision to never become vulnerable again by falling in love is soon questioned when he moves to LA and befriends Talia, an enigma of a girl who can’t help but pull him in. But Theo doesn’t want to be pulled in. He hates it. He hates himself for being attracted to more than her appearance. For wanting to care for her. For always making sure she’s okay. For loving this feeling.
Join the two in their beautiful story, as they try to figure out their feelings together, in a battle of trust and history.
