Vivian Travers's life is made of an endless cycle: Live, die, come back to life, move to a new city, and repeat. Unable to stay dead and possessing both a troubled past and a self-made promise to avoid making connections with anyone, Vivian is comfortable with her lifestyle and has no plans to change it. However, her routine is threatened in her newest city, when the neighbor across the hall greets Vivian with a tired smile, scared eyes, bruised skin, and a broken heart. Determined to help the younger women get away from her abusive boyfriend, Vivian discovers that staying unattached is extremely difficult, especially when the brother of her new-and only-friend makes an unexpected return. As she grows closer to the siblings, it becomes harder for Vivian to keep her secrets, especially when the abusive boyfriend won't leave them alone. She has never had a family before, but, now that she does, Vivian will not let anything harm them, even if doing so compromises her own safety. ***TW NOTE: Please be aware that this story contains both mature language and the topics of abuse, suicide, and death***
