[Currently being rewritten and updated chapter by chapter] Book One in the "Hard Love" series. It's hard being knocked down. And it's even harder getting back up. Thalia Carter grew up on the south side of Chicago with a dead-beat dad and never really knowing friends who cared. After a year of emotional hell she moves to the small town of Brookhaven, Washington for a fresh start. Feeling alone in this world, she meets a rag tag group of friends that might set her on the path towards healing. Isaac Hayden is tempting her in every way she never wanted. He can't seem to stay away, hoping to unravel the mystery that she is and understand why she's so guarded. But she is adamantly against letting him know the truth about her past. She won't let him love her.
