Scarlett Promises

Leading up to her 13th birthday, Juniper Ray who goes by 'June' had what you would deem a normal life. Nothing extraordinary. It was neutral. Safe.

But that predictable, routine life all came crumbling down on that disastrous day that still continues to haunt her years later. The once trusting, naive carefree girl now a sharp-witted, perceptive, distrustful woman with a tendency to lie compulsively to get whatever she needs.

When a stroke of bad luck leaves her looking for a new, discreet place to use and train, she meets Atlas Sullivan, the part-time self-defense trainer who seems to see through all her walls when no one else could. His calm and penetrative gaze threaten to unravel everything she's worked hard to keep under wraps.

After meeting the curly-headed, wary girl, Atlas could feel everything he forced himself to forget resurfacing from the dark corner of his mind and hitting him full force once again, and he can't help but think that maybe, with the help of a certain hazel-eyed girl, they could get through the obstacles that faced them and finally have a taste of the happiness that everyone talks about.
