BEFORE READING... Please be aware this story and series may touch on hard topics such as assault, neglect, abuse, prison, self-harm, depression, panic attacks, and similar topics. If you are dealing with something along those lines I suggest not reading this and ask that you seek help. If you are under the age of 18 please be aware of these topics and read at your own risk or with a trusted adult. This story is free of mature sexual themes. Some scars are visible. Some are buried so deep they become part of who you are. Lizzie Hartford knows all about both. At twenty-four, she's spent years trying to outrun the ghosts of her past. Haunted by a car accident that stole her best friend, struggling with lupus, and carrying the weight of a childhood that taught her everything was her fault, she's learned one thing: trusting people only leads to heartbreak. A fresh start in a small town is supposed to be exactly that-a fresh start. Then she crashes into Brayden Grey. Literally. Brayden Grey is the lead singer of the world-famous band Echoes & Embers. To everyone else, he's talented, charming, and impossible to ignore. But behind the fame is a man carrying scars of his own-ones left by a past he never talks about and a town that once turned its back on him. What begins as an accidental collision turns into late-night conversations, stolen smiles, and a friendship neither of them expected. But healing isn't easy when you're convinced you're broken. And love is terrifying when you've already lost so much. As old wounds resurface and secrets threaten to tear them apart, Lizzie and Brayden will have to decide if the risk of loving someone is worth the possibility of losing them. Because sometimes the people who save us are the ones we never saw coming. And sometimes the hardest thing to do is believe you deserve to be saved.

Perfect at everything, and can do no wrong. At least in my family's eyes. And I? I am not perfect. I am a disappointment. Though they've never said that to me outright, I know that's what they truly think. The apparent "last straw" was when Jamie fucked up and I took the fall for it. Now, I'm on my way to live with some of my more distant relatives back in Italy. They're supposed to "put me back in my place." So now I get to go live with 3 Italian Capo's.

Reece Bremer goes through life with a scowl and cold personality. Jessica Andrews goes through life with a glowing smile and positive outlook. Reece looks at life with dull, judgmental eyes that make him hate the world and the people living in it. Jessica, well... She looks at life through a camera. Literally. They're polar opposites, and that's what sparks Reece's immediate hate for Jessica the moment they meet. All he sees is a girl with the best life, put in the category of those who get everything handed to them on a silver platter. But who says Jessica's life is like that? Just like a photograph, there's more to the story than what you see. Stumbling across one of Jessica's hidden portfolio might reveal that her happiness isn't all that true. Behind that smile and each picture she takes, holds a thousand words of a very big secret - one that Reece is determined to find out. And who knows? It just might change everything between them. cover by dysanic || 2015 watty's winner for talk of the town ||
