Elle a accepté ce travail pour fuir. Fuir une vie étroite, étouffante, à l'ombre d'une mère omniprésente. Ce poste d'aide à la personne, c'est une parenthèse, un entre-deux avant de choisir enfin un avenir, un sens à donner à sa vie. Elle est perdue, encore coupée du monde, affamée de liberté. Dans cette grande maison australienne, auprès de Rose, une octogénaire vive et attachante, elle découvre l'essentiel : cuisiner, papoter, conduire, décider... vivre, tout simplement. Mais elle ne s'attendait pas à lui. Léo. Son petit-fils. Fermé, imprévisible, tatoué jusqu'aux poignets. Chanteur d'un groupe de rock, aussi silencieux qu'intense. Il irradie le danger, inspire la méfiance. Il est tout ce qu'elle n'est pas. Et pourtant, derrière ses silences, elle devine des blessures. Et si leurs mondes, que tout oppose, se cherchaient sans le savoir ? Va-t-il la laisser s'approcher assez pour comprendre ce qu'il cache ? Va-t-elle réapprendre à vivre à ses côtés... ou s'y perdre encore un peu plus ?

Earning a bachelor's degree in business and owning a professional cleaning service gave her the financial security that too many young women craved but failed to obtain. Though Sorrow's business acumen gave her the freedom to make any decisions she wished, difficulties in her previous love life left Sorrow somewhat jaded concerning the opposite sex. Based on her experiences, Sorry Olivia Shay makes up her mind that decent men no longer exist. Instead of searching for someone to share her accomplishments with, she invests most of her time in building her business. All is well as far as Sorrow is concerned until one unexpected event occurs in her life. A loner his entire life, Eli Asher Greenfield has never been confused with the "Jock" or the "Life of the Party".
