Loving yourself is hard. Trying to find love in a family who objectified you? Seems like work. But try finding love in someone as a hopeless romantic too.
• • •
Smart, nerdy, pretty, and kind are all the words she's gotten used to. Being a Junior in college, Evangeline Collins has learned that the kindest of words are said by the evilest of beings. Not only that but living in a family where expectations are through the roof helped her grow a thick skin. However, just when she began succumbing to her hopeless life, she meets a worse type of being. Matteo Cadwell. A senior, living like the devil as she kindly called him. It was inevitable that they didn't get along. Until they gave it a shot.
When Matteo saw the kind of life Evie was living, his eyes opened wide for him to see everything. In an attempt to just see the good in her he saw something so much more - he saw the good in him. Helping raise each other, love each other, these two fight to the end. They fight until they freed themselves from the cruel chains of their lives.
