Brayden's life is a beautiful disaster. After finally being adopted by a wealthy woman and her family, his entire life is turned upside down. The New Yorker boy who's only lived in small one-bedroom apartments and tiny houses is now living in a Barrington, Rhode Island mansion.

The boy who has always been a nobody is now a somebody, but the heart wrenching experiences of his childhood follow him day by day as he lives his new life.

A budding romance ignites, something that is forbidden due to the hatred of Brayden's new sister, Ursanne, but as the two grow as a couple, Collie forces her way into the secrets of Brayden Palmer's life, the secrets he calls his Splinters.

"Love is..." I explored my brain to find the most suitable word in my dictionary that could fit in the definition I was trying to say; the definition that could make the jerk, sitting opposite me with a smirk on his face, believe in 'love'. "Bullshit?" He offered with a huge arrogant smirk on his face and no matter how much I agreed with him on this particular matter, I couldn't agree. So, instead of nodding my head in agreement, I scowled at him. His smirk grew bigger and he leaned away from me, gazing at me with his piercing grey eyes. "Finding it hard to make me believe in love when you yourself don't believe in that shit, huh?" With his piercing grey gaze fixed on my every move, I realized that 'being the devil's cupid' was going to be a lot tougher than I had initially thought. (By the author of 'And We Meet Again')

But does everyone have one about her? The threads start unraveling as Gemma searches for the person who's hurting her; the person who is trying to drive her insane.
