Julia and Zayn.
Meant to be together, yet so far apart.
Julia Redmond had finally gotten her life in line when she met this one specific guy. Julia grew up with the most awful parents, and when her younger sister was born almost twenty years after her, she immediately had to take guardianship. She would never let her sibilant go through what her and her older brother, Matt, went through as they grew up. Moving to a different city, and trying to forget their past was about the easiest thing she did when she moved to Baton Rouge. She didn't know though, that with Baton Rouge came Zayn Black.
Zayn Black was your average "Bad Boy". Tattoos, drugs, fights, motorcycles. He came along with all the typical bad boy kind of stuff. He came from a well off family so he had everything he wanted. Well, apparently not everything. He wanted Julia, but he gets confused because after his past with his ex girlfriend, he never thought he'd find a girl he'd love as much. He though wrong.
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams?
