Description:
She's
driven to save a life.
He's
haunted by breaking one.
Some
secrets are too risky to share.
But
nothing's more dangerous than falling in love...
Nineteen-year-old
Sophie doesn’t listen to the naysayers because she has hope. The
kind of hope that makes you do weird things—like travel two
thousand miles away from everyone she knows and loves to a strange
city.
So
what if her first night in Los Angeles starts with a small misstep—a
brief trip to the ER after twenty-one-year-old Alejandro, the hottest
guy she’s ever met, saves her during a bar fight on the USCLA
campus.
The
stakes are high for Sophie—life and death—as she seeks answers to
dark questions in a city that can be a slice of heaven, or a piece of
hell. She’s running out of time on her journey to find healing.
Falling for a guy isn’t part of her plan. But healing doesn’t
always come the way you think you need it.
Sophie’s
healing is six-foot-two-inches tall, has stunning hazel eyes, black,
shiny hair and a rock solid chest that shelters her. Her
healing is Alejandro.
But
he’s not your typical college party boy—he has a dangerous past.
Sophie isn’t the only one who keeps secrets. As they fall in love,
he fears his truth might hurt her. And Sophie doesn’t know if she
has the courage to tell him:
He
can’t break her—because she’s already broken.
A
Story of Hope. A Story of Love. A Story of Redemption.

EXCERPT
#1
“Goodnight,
Bonita.”
“Goodnight,
Ralph.” I smiled and walked to my apartment’s door and put the
right key in the lock.
“Wait!
Who’s Ralph?”
I
turned and regarded him. He looked confused. Gorgeous, delicious, but
confused. I
was so good at messing with Alpha boys.
“Oh, gosh. I’m just an innocent Cheesehead.” I shrugged my
shoulders, batted my eyes and pretended to swoon. “What do I know?”
“Apparently
more than I gave you credit for,” he said.
“About
time.” I opened the door to my place and stepped inside. “Thanks
for—”
“What
do I get when I figure it out?” He stared at me. “I mean—when I
figure out the Ralph reference I should at least win a prize or
something for my efforts.”
“You’re
never going to figure it out.”
“Don’t
underestimate me.”
“What
kind of prize do you want?” I asked.
“I
want to kiss you,” he said.
A
shiver zipped up and down my spine. I thought about it for a moment.
Realized he’d never find the right answer. He’d also lose all
interest in me the more he drove me. He thought I was exotic. I knew
I was boring. So my reply was easy.
“Yes,
Alejandro,” I said. “Yes, you can kiss me if you figure it out.”
I shut my door, leaned back against it and smiled.
Sophie:
Two.
Alejandro:
Zero.
But
who was counting?
