Former nurse Beatrice is struggling with her mental health after a tragic accident, but a torrid relationship with empathetic Australian bartender Matt could be her path to healing... or her ultimate destruction. --- They were only meant to be a one night stand, but fate had other plans. Since the car accident that claimed her best friend's life, former nurse Beatrice Leighton has been spiralling into a black hole of reckless behaviour, sex, and alcohol. She is barely holding her life together; the stitches surrounding her broken heart fit to burst. With his own past traumas to deal with, Aussie barman, Matt Quinn, might be the only person who understands what she has been through-her beacon in the darkness. When their paths cross, Beatrice drops her defences and discovers a new love for life. But Matt is less than perfect, and his own dark secret has the potential to destroy her or finally set her free. *** Warning: rated MATURE for sexual content and strong language. + Descriptions of panic attacks, PTSD, grieving and death. ***
