He Came Through the Window

Ayden Sheer stays awake until the early hours of the morning waiting for the sound of a tapping on the window and a familiar face on the other side. The fire escape leading up to her bedroom is like Rapunzel's hair leading to the castle, in her eyes. Ayden lost her mother at a very young age and hasbeen living in a noisy area of Manhattan with her father, a sheriff with one eye always on his little girl.

Holland Ambrock made a promise to Ayden that he wouldn't forget about her after he graduated, and he navigates his way up the fire escape every night to drink in the love he needs to keep going. Holland gave up going to his dream college and studying music to keep his family together, and he works full-time at night and sets himself up with a guitar in a dirty subway station for a few extra bucks.

One more night will never be enough for Holland and Ayden, no matter the effort it takes. It takes a lot to keep love strong against the odds, and through the challenges and setbacks, they need each other more than they will ever know.
