When Everly Reed collides with the cynical and devilishly handsome Mason Valdez, she knows trouble is ahead, but she never could have guessed how much she would be drawn to the storm. ***** Nineteen-year-old Ever Reed likes when things make sense. Which is probably why she excels at math, enough to secure her a spot at an Ivy League school out of state. Sheltered by her mother and older brother Asher for most of her life, Ever hasn't experienced much of the world, but she knows New York will be an adventure. Enter Mason Valdez: cynical, arrogant, and undeniably attractive-exactly what Ever doesn't need. But as their paths keep crossing, Ever finds herself intrigued by Mason, and eager to know the boy behind the bitter mask. As secrets, scars, and painful pasts rise to the surface, Ever knows one thing for sure: they can only make it through if they face their storms together.

"How are you feeling today?" "Not great, but still fighting." I smiled the fake smile I had perfected so easily, over time. My hands were clammy but I tried my best not to my mind to them. Dr. Primson watched my fiddling hands. "How is Chemotherapy?" She asked and I felt everything shift. "You don't tell anyone these things, right?" I said, meaning the things we discussed. "Of course not, this is all confidential, Nina." Dr.Primson cleared the confusion. I took a deep breath and shared with her the pain, behind the smile. •••• Nina has struggled with leukemia since she was twelve. She didn't have many friends, she hid away from the world, until she found Mercies Children Hospital. Her struggle is long and hard, blocking people out is her specialty. But one boy won't let that stop him and will push his way through her walls, until he can warm her heart, and make her forget. A boy, his stepbrother, and somehow a mute girl. But it would be a while before they involved themselves in her time bomb. It would be a while before they even knew. _________________________ A spinoff of Better Together. *you don't have to read Better Together to understand*
