Life is not easy, nor is it simple. There are always obstacles you need to get over and things preventing you from being happy. Charlotte is a 17 year old girl who understands that. She is struggling to get over the obstacles and doesn't know if she'll make it. ..... Warning: This story contains description of self-harm in almost every chapter. I didn't include a warning at the beginning of every chapter because this whole story is about mental health so anything may cause triggers. SIDE NOTE: This short story is currently undergoing MAJOR editing! The earlier chapters might not be consistent with the later chapters but the plot remains the same! The book will be all ready very soon! (Also I am very that my book description is not very good, I promise the story is much better than described)

In the darkest places there is hope, beauty can rise from ashes.

Before inheriting her father's company, Lovey needs external experience. Reluctant to take the next step, she drags her feet-until her mother steps in and makes the decision for her. Lovey finds herself with an unexpected opportunity: working for one of the top architectural firms in New York. When she's escorted to her new bosses office, she braces herself to meet a seasoned executive in his 50s. Instead, she's met with Ethan Richie-a younger, sharper version of what she expected, a man in his mid-20s with an air of confidence that instantly sets her on edge. Lovey doesn't know it yet, but Ethan is about to become the bane of her existence-and she, the center of his relentless amusement. This book is a sequel to my books Unprofessional & Unconditionally, but it can be read as a standalone.
