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 ||

Ava: The theft of my innocence splintered me as a child. When I chose not to suffer in silence it cost me the one I trusted the most. I tried not to let it stop me from life and love but I still fall short. I may not fight hard for myself but I will use my wit and all my resources to fight for this shelter and the people who depend on it. I thought my convictions and work were all I have to live for but then I met him. Kaden: Bruises and anguish were guests I often hosted. I lived with the worst of humanity and the good in my life was stripped from me. Because of this I became ruthless and business was the vessel for my rage. People were tools to be used or obstacles to be removed. I embraced this ideology, it suited me. That is, until I met her.
