19-year-old Aspen Holloway navigates life with sarcasm and self-deprecation to conceal the reality that her parents always treated her as their greatest burden. In her new apartment building, Aspen encounters the hopeless, grief-ridden Julius Esprit, who has been struggling to reconcile his faith with the recent loss of both of his parents. After Aspen talks him down from a ledge, Julius becomes convinced that Aspen is his guardian angel. With her skeptical, pessimistic mentality, Aspen is overwhelmed by the obligation to play the role of Julius' "savior." Soon, the growing pain from her broken family life begins to get in the way of her efforts to keep Julius hopeful. Does she abandon Julius and risk his life, or does she continue her commitment to him as her own well-being deteriorates to a dangerous level?

"Your hair is full of snow," He chuckled as he looked at her, reaching out to push a strand of hair behind her ear. Some snow successfully fell off her, but he didn't withdraw his hand. He cupped her cheek, wiping away a few snowflakes from it. She was frozen, staring at him like a deer caught in headlights, her heart pounding in her chest. Then, raising his other hand, he cupped her cheeks fully. His eyes began to trace every inch of her face; her eyes, her cheeks, her nose, before his gaze dropped to her lips. Her heart skipped a beat as she tried to keep herself together. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seventeen-year-old Valentina Barron doesn't have the most ideal home life.
