Ellie Newcombe, the sensible daughter of a humble hotelier, is forced to acknowledge emotions she's kept buried for years when the man who represents the pain of her past saunters back into her life and challenges all her plans.
***
Ellie thought she was happy with where her life was headed. She was going to graduate university, take over the family business, and make her father proud. When Ellie's best friend introduces her to the drummer of Eastern University's top band, she realises the guy she's been ogling in the campus café for the past two years is someone she already knows.
By no fault of his own, Justin Hart represents the pain Ellie has kept buried for years. She shouldn't want him; she couldn't want him! Not when spending time with him meant betraying her father. But will Justin, with those gorgeous blue eyes and that all-knowing smirk, be the piece of the puzzle she didn't know she was missing? Or will he be the force that brings her whole world crumbling down?
