Two Mentally broken and damaged strangers in a world where no one understands them ... Through finding each other they finally find themselves, to try for a better life....But fate keeps getting in their way.
"I'm just a mess, but you're the person who saved my life."
"You will always be my better place."
Leo and Lainey; very much the same, but very different in how they deal with their childhood dreams, demons and on-going battles - all of which has a huge effect on their lives and mental health. We go on the journey with them, spanning over 10 years, from children to adults, as they form a bond like no other; both only feeling alive and free when being creative - and when together. Leo starts to bring Lainey out of her dark, broken shell; she turns his chaos into calmness, teaching him how to care for someone other than himself. They become each other's healing - although this story is no fairy-tale, as fate keeps getting in the way of them becoming who they are supposed to be. They unintentionally pull each other into their dramas and their pasts - more so Leo...
And Karma will catch up with you as soon as you care about something or someone ...That someone for Leo is Lainey.
The older, charming, narcissistic Luke uses Leo past as his advantage when he decides he wants Lainey for himself, he sets out to turn her against Leo. They can't fall away from their past- sadly, the apple doesn't always fall too far from the tree.
Sometimes it only takes one person to change your life; to make a difference in Your indifferent world. But will the darkness keep them apart and in the cycle of what they know, or can they finally get back to being each other's light and become who they choose to be?
'You can turn your broken pieces into something beautiful, if you give your broken pieces a chance.'
'This is the first book in the series...

Love Misunderstood
I only ever met one man I'd call truly noble. He was a man who was misunderstood and worthy of the world, yet everyone saw him differently. That was until I saw his true colours. The more I caught his eye the more he noticed me. We would pass each other, I would always stare a little longer at his back, wondering his story. People used to move out of the hallways if they saw him approaching whereas people would come and talk to me. He kept to himself, I was never alone, he had no friends, I was friends with everyone, I never saw him talk to anyone I spoke to many. we were polar opposites. At least that's what I thought until that day in the library, that is where I will start this story. Everyone is different, I hate the word "different", I much prefer the word unique. Unique is the only way to describe him. This is not just a story about love, it is about helping two souls who act differently but are the same on the inside, it shows the messy parts that aren't shown in movies, the tragedy, and the comedy but most of all the sizzling romance between two broken people who became one. Who is this story about? Caden James. But this is not just his story, It is ours.Complete
