Callista, aka Callie, has been stuck in an emotionally and mentally abusive relationship for 8 years, since she was 16. William, her fiance (the abuser) conditions her without her even realizing it. Until it was too late. She ends up being a shell of her former self. When she finally gets the courage to leave, the walls that she has built up to protect herself, keep her from forming any other friendships or relationships. She can't trust anyone completely, except her best friend, especially in her hometown. So, when her best friend talks her into moving to LA, California, she gladly accepts. Guarded from everyone, she runs into an old high school friend. Colby Brock, who was two years younger than her and had a crush on her in school. She never thought of him as anything more than a little brother. This begins a journey that will change her life, and maybe her heart, forever.

Auden's life has been anything but easy. With a mother who acts more like a friend, and an absentee father, Auden's no stranger to poverty and neglect. **** When her mother meets a new boyfriend, Auden suddenly finds herself far away from her hometown in Arizona and forced to go to school in an all new town in California. Now she's living amongst the wealthy, navigating all new territory, a life she is completely unfamiliar with. By chance encounter, she meets charming, popular, Hunter, who, sure, can be arrogant, assertive, and a bit full on, but is more than happy to welcome Auden to the town and introduce her to his friend group. Hunter is different from anyone Auden has ever known. He's magnetic and compelling, yet, also dangerous. Being with him makes Auden forget about everything else, especially her issues at home. Her relationship with Hunter happens fast, and Auden's unsure if he's too good to be true. But Auden isn't alone in struggling with her homelife. There's also Ender. The closed-off, myserious boy living not far from her house who she can't deny the intense pull she feels towards him. He understands her and knows exactly what she's going through. Their bond may be a bit too intense to ignore. As Auden is torn between the two, she begins to realize everyone's lives are infinitely more complex than they first appeared. The facades are beginning to wither, leaving behind brutal truths. Love isn't supposed to hurt like this, is it? This story contains: alcohol, drugs, partying, swearing, abuse, domestic violence
