Sarah Suarez was doing her best to survive adulthood, which was hard when life kept acting like a full-time hater. After discovering her fiancé's affair with her former friend, publicly humiliating half the people at a reunion party, and losing the carefully crafted version of herself in one disastrous night, Sarah is forced to start over from scratch. Again. With a sick mother to care for, bills piling up, and a future hanging by a thread, the last thing she needs is Henry Salva: a dangerously handsome CEO with too much money, too many secrets, and a habit of appearing whenever her life falls apart. Henry is calm, composed, and emotionally impossible to read. A man who terrifies boardrooms without raising his voice, and should have nothing in common with someone like Sarah, yet somehow, their paths keep crossing. From drunken disasters and emotional breakdowns to late-night conversations and dangerously blurred boundaries, Sarah finds herself drawn to the one man she knows she should avoid. But healing is never simple, especially when old wounds, buried truths, jealous exes, and the ghosts of Henry's past threaten to destroy whatever is growing between them. *trigger warning: has minor PTSD episodes.

"What? You gonna avoid me again like you did today? Pretend I'm not here and call it a night?" Then there's Donovan. Bittersweet, underappreciated Donovan. My best friend. The only person I had known I could use as a safety cushion whenever things got tough. My punching bag, my own personal, opinionated diary. He snapped my journal shut, waving it at me. "Can you be honest for once in your life and tell me what that list is about?" "I am honest with you."I mumbled, distracted by the bruises and cuts on his hand. "What happened there?" "Don't dodge the question. If you're so honest, why didn't you tell me they were giving you a hard time?" "Because it doesn't matter." "And Mel?" I admit that the worry in his honeyed-earths had almost cracked my demeanor, leaving me feeling vulnerable enough to want to open up to him, to let him in on all the cruelty I've endured. That is until he mentioned her. He took my silence as the answer he wanted to his question. He wanted me to be the bad guy because he cared that much for her. Wanted me to take on the role of bad friend so it'd fit his story and make him secure in his feelings. "Don't touch my stuff, Donovan." I mumbled and plucked my journal out of his hands with no fight from his end. I tucked my secrets back on my bookshelf and leaned against the wall, arms crossed as I anticipated his next words. I was met with silence and a whole lot of eye judging and with that, my old nemesis, panick, set in. "Did you read it?" Gosh, I hate how fragile that came out. I need to pull myself together before I end up saying something I'd regret. "You still haven't answered my question about Mel." "Because it's insulting." I responded, balling my hands into a fist to keep from chewing on my nails. "Did you read my journal?" He scoffed. "What do you think?" ... A story that tells of the struggles of teenage life, embracing change and how to cope with society as a whole.
