Nineteen-year-old Nina Pruitt has starved herself of food, love, and friendship in pursuit of a guy who didn't deserve all she gave him and who isn't ready to give up on getting her back. When a new love pops up and an old loves steps in, will either be enough for her to choose to fight for her life again? I dedicate this story to all those who, for whatever reason, chose to love me even at my worst. Special mention goes to three, out of many, friends who have touched and shaped my life ~> Shawn, Jenny, and Barry. Where would I be without you?

Mila Wilson is quiet, anxious and a little bit of a mess. Panic attacks have ruled her life for as long as she can remember - but starting college is her chance to take control. Love? Not something she believes she's built for. Then she meets Jace Evans. Dark, tattooed, and dangerously intriguing, he's the kind of person Mila avoids at all costs. But Jace doesn't scare easily - he sees straight through her walls and he's not about to let her hide. "If you're so worried about my scary, dangerous self, why don't you get to know me? I dare you," he says, leaning in her doorway with a smirk. Mila knows she should walk away. She also know she won't. This is a story for everyone who's ever felt different. And for anyone brave enough to be. Best rankings: #1 in #emotional #2 in #slowburn #3 in #newadult #3 in #tattoos #3 in #friendship #4 in #adultromance #6 in #secrets #6 in #badboylovestory
