Beauty is a gift from God, or so they say. Bethany Chaleir De Vera learned at a young age that beauty won't give you a free pass from heartaches when her dad left her mom to elope with another woman who wasn't even half her mom's beauty.
In fact, she believes that beauty is a curse. Because if not, why do her friends continue to betray and sexually assault her?
Eventually, she learned not to trust anyone, she learned how to play the game, how to use her beautiful face and curvy body as a weapon to guard her fragile and broken heart. For her, she'd rather fuck in broad daylight than make love in the dark. She'd rather shed her skin to strangers than readily offer her heart.
Not until Artemus Xavier knocked on her door.
But in this life led through broken pieces and betrayal, how do one unkiss her? How do one unrape her?
How will he unravel her?
Georgina is homeless and broke, and her ex-boyfriend came to her rescue by letting her temporarily stay in his house. But with the two of them living together, how big is the chance that their old flame will be rekindled?
***
After being thrown out of her apartment, Georgina has nowhere else to go. Her dwindling options lead her to call Dwight, her ex-boyfriend, to ask for his help even if it is against her will. She promises him that the set-up is temporary, but fate has got other plans. Living with him makes her reminisce not only the unpleasant circumstances that once broke them apart but also the love they once felt. Will their old flame be rekindled, or is their story bound to end up with a second heartbreak?
