how to fix a bitter man
Tony Wilson was a man no one could reach. Bitter, angry, and drowning in his vices, he built walls of whiskey, smoke, and cold indifference to keep the world at bay. People didn't try to fix him-they knew better. He was too far gone. Then came Justine Hubert. Soft, warm, and full of hope, she was everything Tony despised. She smiled when she shouldn't, cared when it wasn't deserved, and saw something in him he didn't believe existed anymore. This isn't a fairytale of instant change. It's a story of light against darkness, hope against bitterness-and the question of whether even the hardest hearts can be softened.

With every encounter, the ice around Colton's heart melts until his heart is free to beat as loudly as it can, just for Lily. With a past even darker than Colton's, Lillian chooses her armor to be a smile. She has so many reasons to succumb to the darkness that fills her once innocent heart, but she focuses on enjoying the new life she just started.
