Amy1927
Clover McNeil, 21, had her life turned upside down at thirteen when her dad died in a car accident. That was the day her mother snapped - uprooting their quiet fairy-tale life in a small coastal town in Scotland and dragging them across the world into the harsh, dazzling glare of California.
Grief hardened into numbness, and Clover learned one thing fast: survival doesn't wait.
Now she's desperate to save enough money to get herself and her younger siblings out of their toxic home before it swallows them whole.
Enter Asher Hayes, 28 - dark-haired, broad-shouldered, the kind of quietly intense man people don't forget. Clover keeps running into him at her worst moments... and somehow, he always seems to be the one pulling her back onto her feet.
So when she walks into a meeting and discovers she's been hired as the new photographer for his band, Clover is blindsided.
Asher is the only one who sees through her carefully constructed act.
The only one who notices the cracks she's trying to hide.
And as tension sparks between them - sharp, magnetic, impossible to ignore - Clover has to decide whether letting him in will save her...
or destroy the fragile world she's fighting to protect.
