At 18 years old, Lily has already lived through years of hell.

She wakes up every night suffering from nightmares and endures sleep paralysis regularly. Living her life shrouded in darkness, she is under the protection of a government agency but she never truly feels safe. 

When her minder Ollie tells her that Utah, their newest residency, will be better, she doesn't believe him. So, as usual, she does everything in her power to blend in, but on her first day of school, she catches the attention of a green eyed stranger. Alex.

Lily may hold a tough exterior, but on the inside she lives in fear. Alex is drawn in by her pure innocence and vulnerability. As a fighter and owner of the best defence gym in Utah, Alex will do what he can to protect Lily from anyone that threatens her safety, but also from loosing herself to the demons in her own head. 

Lily doesn't just let anyone behind her thick walls though. 

What will happen when Alex finds out that Lily isn't just another shy teenage girl? And will he really be able to help her fight the darkness?

"Fuck." He whispers into my neck, sending a thrill of excitement through my body. His lips still smothered kisses over my neck and his hands roamed my body, starting at my chest, going down to my stomach. Caressing my soft skin, his thumb trailed circles on my groin before slightly slipping into the waistband of my jeans. My breath catches in my throat as I pull at the hoodie that covered his chiselled body. Understanding, Jacob pulls it off in one swift movement before attaching his lips back on my neck. Sucking and biting it before flicking his tongue over the sore spot. A quiet moan leaves my mouth and I clasp my hand over it, denying any noise to escape.
