Avery Merrick had definitely not enjoyed a storybook life. Growing up with a single Mother who was unstable left her in and out of Foster Homes and eventually, thankfully, living with her best friend, Stacia. After graduating High School, Avery and Stacia take off together to college a few hours away, in their own apartment starting their new lives. Can Avery loosen up, live a little and enjoy life now? Or will the burdens of her past hold her down? Their first night she meets a sexy Liam and from there she twists and turns in an emotional roller coaster of finding herself and falling in love with someone unexpected, herself, and daring to live a life she finally deserves.
