In a world full of pain, hurt, and destruction, it's hard to find the beauty.
Freya Blackmen has grown accustomed to the disappointments of the world and has always channelled her anger and hurt into the only thing she's ever been able to do right, boxing. She's gotten this far in life without needing anyone so what's stopping her now? When one familiar face starts getting a little to close everything changes for Freya, but will she be able to do this right?
Asher Pierce never got what he wanted, whenever he was finally happy and contempt, everything changes and not for the better. So when Asher is forced to move back to his hometown after an accident, Asher puts all his pent up emotions into boxing. The last person he is expecting to see is the one and only Freya Blackmen (who is boxing nonetheless). And as Asher starts to feel happy again he is scared it will all come tumbling down once more.

Innocence
"So goddamn tiny," He muttered to himself, making a blush rise to Freya's cheeks. "I am not," She defended herself quietly. "You're just huge." ~🎀~ Freya Karol was the epitome of innocence. She was small, sheltered, and fiercely protected by her millionare father. Going out after 8pm was a no. Drinking alcohol or doing drugs was a no. Skipping school without reason was a no. And boys were a big no. But if there was one thing that attracted Falcon Anders, it was innocence. ~🎀~ "All the synonyms of perfect. This book is absolutely beautiful, the plot, the writing and the characters are so addicting. Literally fell in love within reading the first paragraph of the book. I honestly truly hope you update more often, because you're very talented and this book is literally beautiful💙" - Najma Copyright © 2019 N.E. Lorimer All rights reserved.Complete
