Sweethaced
Both unloved. Both left behind.
Elliana Mendez can't seem to let go of her ex, Lance, no matter how hard she tries. Ashton Balthazar, on the other hand, hides the pain of loving someone who will never choose him.
When Ashton witnesses Elliana's desperation, he does something reckless-he offers himself. Not for love, but as a distraction. A temporary remedy. A deal to help her move on.
But when stolen touches turn into lingering embraces, and when their hearts begin to beat in the same rhythm, the line between make-believe and something real starts to blur.
Is this just an agreement born out of heartbreak? Or could it be the beginning of the love they never saw coming?
