When Emily, a working business student first met Blake, a handsome and seemingly put-together man, she didn't expect it to go anywhere. That was until-like the flip of a switch-he turned her whole life around. For better or for worse, she quickly fell for him. Her life went from boring and repetitive to exciting and new. She'd never felt like that before. Their connection was undeniable and she found herself bound to him as if he were her other half.
It felt like the perfect love story. That was until she learned that Blake had been lying to her all along, he wasn't who he said he was, and their connection was indeed deeper than she thought. They had a history she knew nothing about. Distraught by this discovery, Emily was determined to take her life back-but not before she'd have to come face-to-face with her past.
After he'd been discovered, would Blake be able to plead his case and win back the only woman who ever made him feel loved and at peace?

Brave Enough To Love Again
I stood with my back to her, shielding her, and my murderous eyes stared down at the poor excuse of a man, promising unimaginable pain if he dared to move or even flinch. The enormity of control it took me to suppress the impulse to eradicate the piece of scum, who dared to even think about laying a hand on a woman, was inconceivable. My whole body was trembling with rage. The guy was intimidated by the fury in my eyes and stumbled back to his intoxicated friends who were too dazed to understand the situation. I was disappointed and relieved at the same time that the chaos didn't end in a fist fight. When I turned around to console her, she was gone. And as I looked around, I saw her back just leaving the bar through the entrance. I hurried out to follow her. She walked ahead of me aimlessly and disoriented like a wounded animal that had just escaped the claws of death. My heart ached for her. I found a kindred soul in her. She evidently had been wounded in the past. Just like me. But in an even worse way than I had been hurt, and it angered me, that someone had dared to harm her. *** Eden Marie Simmons is still recovering after escaping an abusive relationship when she meets Keane, the broody and enigmatic neighbor who is shrouded in mystery.

Life challenges them both with secrets, lies, and broken trusts, and confronts them with their pasts. They both must learn to be brave enough to love again. *** Story is previously called "Paradise Lies"Complete
