Tessa Young is an 18 year old college student with a simple life, excellent grades, and a sweet boyfriend. She always has things planned out ahead of time, until she meets a rude boy named Hardin, with too many tattoos and piercings who shatters her plans.

Angel Harper has had a tough life. At fifteen, she lost her parents and little brother to a tragic car accident that will forever change her. Her aunt has always blamed her for this, and she has suffered at the hands of an abusive ex-boyfriend. Now eighteen, she moves into her parents' old house to start anew where she meets Ace Carter, the resident bad boy and player every girl wants. Angel, knowing she can't handle opening up herself again, pushes him away to keep herself safe. But what if being vulnerable with him could actually give her a chance to finally heal?
