Olivia Christine Kent needed something. She needed a change- a chance at a change at least. She was tired of the day to day. Working retail and feeling stuck, coming home to an empty house with nothing to do; it was wearing down on her. After the loss of her parents she just felt unmotivated to do anything- try anything. Then after a call and a unique set up by her best friend she is thrown into a life she didn't see coming. 

Sawyer Dane Mathews needed..well he needed nothing. Everything came infuriatingly easy to him. He was beautiful, successful, and cocky as all get out. He was drowning in women, and he had no intention of changing that. Not until he met a beautiful, mouthy woman. She changes everything. She changes the way he thinks, the way he feels, his outlook. All he wants is to make her happy.  No longer is he his first thought. Now his first, his last, and every thought between belong to Olivia.

Will Olivia be able to get past her insecurities and anxieties? Can Sawyer truly give up the life he's been so used to?  What happens if their progress is interrupted by outside influences?

Ethan was a typical 19-year-old, full of dreams and aspirations, navigating the uncertain waters of young adulthood at Job Corps. Surrounded by a diverse group of peers all striving for a better life, he found an unexpected connection with Olivia, a spirited girl with an infectious laugh and a warmth that drew him in like a moth to a flame. Their friendship blossomed amidst the challenges of daily life at the center-study sessions turned into late-night talks, shared meals transformed into laughter-filled moments, and soon, a deep bond began to form. But beneath the surface of their budding romance lay a heavy secret that Ethan had kept hidden from everyone, including Olivia: a child he had fathered at a time when he was still trying to find himself. As their relationship deepened, so did Ethan's internal struggle. The joy of falling in love clashed with the fear of revealing his past-a past that haunted him, casting shadows over every moment they spent together.
