"When you lose someone, someone you love, it's the hardest thing you can ever go through. With time, it never really goes away. You think you're healing, but then you get a flashback, or hear a song bringing back memories, and it hits you all over again, like a stab in the chest, you fall apart for the hundredth time and out yourself back together the hundred and first time"

What if you lost everything in life that mattered the most to you in a matter of seconds? Just let what you loved most, slip through your fingers in the blink of an eye.
Odette Thompson had everything she wanted, good parents, a protective brother, an amazing dancer and a straight A student.
In a matter of seconds she loses everything. Her parents, her happy life, two things that mattered most to her, lost. As she begins to lose herself, she runs into what seemed like to be her own guardian, protector, and a personal annoying egotistical knight in not so shiny armor.
Everything changes once she meets Jasper, Captain of the varsity soccer team, gorgeous as hell, stormy blue eyes, the bad boy air. Can Jasper break down Odette's walls before she has them completely built up?
~One mistake brought her to her knees. One decision will bring him to the brink of redemption.~
Addison never thought she'd find herself trapped in human trafficking. But then again, nobody does, right? Especially not someone as rich and perfect like Addison Coleman.
Addison has everything. Money, friends, family, a boyfriend, and a bright future ahead of her as a singer to complete her perfect life.
But when her twenty-first birthday rolls around, she finds herself gathering with her friends and celebrating it with alcohol.
But alcohol itself isn't the problem, it's what she does next that is.
She drives drunk.
And all too soon, her perfect life changes. She finds herself being convicted of manslaughter and is thrown behind bars with her guilt eating her alive.
This is the mistake that broke her, and now she's damned to suffer through life alone.....or is she?

"I'M FUCKING DIRTY! How can you even stand me, how can you even bear to look at me?" He questions emotionally, becoming a mix of angry and sorrowful.
" I was a victim of human trafficking, too. I'm just like you in that aspect, just like you." I say, grabbing his hand tightly and pulling him closer and looking him in the emotionally driven eyes.
"Don't keep pulling yourself down, don't you see that you are drowning yourself?" I ask, my voice breaking.
"Just let me drown." He whispers.
"Never."
