Jaimee Mendoza's life changed entirely the night she was assaulted. Her entire persona - the attitude, the confidence, the arrogance - was gone. Left in their wake was a broken shell of a girl who couldn't cope with the pieces she was left in.
She told no one, other than the police. She reported the monster alone, went to court alone, therapy alone. Breaking up with her childhood sweetheart and ignoring all her family's suspicions, she wrapped the trauma up with cotton wool, dancing between soft smiles and oversized clothing
So when her ex-boyfriend sees her for the first time in four years, the walls that she built around herself start tearing away.
Shayden Nkosi was cocky, confident and sexy, and he loves Jai like no one else ever could. She thought he was gone from her life forever but you always drift back to those people who feel like home.

"How can I be just friends with the girl that I'm in love with?" He answers back instantly, words almost as quiet at mine.
