She barely survives the encounter but that doesn't stop her from heping others.
She goes from being the daughter of an abusive alcoholic Father. To a woman with one goal in her life, and that goal is what she lives for. It's the only thing that she feels she has worth living for. Or so she thinks. Until one evening she meets someone whose just as determined as her to keep guard what's been shattered. Someone who can turn her world upside down with just a few words. For better or for worse? Should she trust her own heart or her instinct to run? It's a choice she has to make. It brings her on a journey of pain, love, discovery, and the ability to either accept what is to come or to fight it.
Elliot Jensen and Elliot Fintry have a lot in common. They share the same name, the same house, the same school, oh and they hate each other but, as they will quickly learn, there is a fine line between love and hate.
