Calvin Sumner is just trying to find a job, pass his classes, get into college, and maybe kiss a few boys if he can manage it. He never thought he'd find himself working in a cupcake cafe, or falling in love with his brooding, ex-military boss who has more tattoos than he has words to give. But Cas isn't going to complain. Not when he's finally making some money, doing well in his courses, has a pretty good sports scholarship in his future, and gets to kiss Dresden Gibson as much as he wants (and he wants to, a lot).

He leaves and doesn't call, doesn't text, doesn't anything. So much for I love you Lucy and always will. Ha. Why was I so stupid? Why did I believe that idiot? Oh yeah because that "idiot" happened to be my best friend. Niall Horan. But everything changes when I find out, he's coming back. Back to Mullingar. Back to his house next door. And worse back to me.

I heard a cry for help one dark and stormy night. Naturally, though afraid, came running. Little did I know the call for help came from a cute irish boy whom I happened to fall in love with as soon as I saw his face. Who he was... I didn't know, which for some reason seemed to shock him...

Being an abused teenager is not easy, its emotional, painful, depressing, and so on... Running for places to hide becomes a challenge. Keeping your secret life a secret from people at school becomes harder each day. You don't think anybody truly cares for you. You just want to give up, you feel useless.. Until he comes into your life. He changes everything. Everything you once thought you lost was back, but in a new type of way. You learn to trust. To take the fall. He shows you what it feels like to be loved, to feel safe, to feel protected, but will it last? Or all come crashing down?
