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

“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?
