**Ambys 2024 Romance Favorite** Some rules are meant to be broken, but what happens when the rules are there to protect the walls around your heart, and the last thing you ever meant was for someone to see through them? Lacy Adams, artist and high school teacher, finds herself suddenly living out of her van with no potential prospects. That is, until a fateful accident lands her in the ER, where she unexpectedly runs into Trevor James, a long forgotten blast from the past. Trevor offers her a lifeline: a place to stay in his home. With thick boundaries drawn in the sand, and a rulebook bound by promises, Lacy agrees. However, they soon land in a desperate need to forget their pasts, and what starts as a casual arrangement between friends soon ignites into something much more. Set against the backdrop of crashing waves and coastal charm, All of Me is a passionate story of healing, vulnerability, and the transformative power of love when least expected. *This story has been removed for publishing *Please check trigger warnings
