Kayla has spent her life running from a past too dark to reveal. With her mother imprisoned as one of Canada's most notorious serial killers and her father and aunt hiding equally dangerous secrets, Kayla has mastered the art of silence and survival. But when she meets Aaron, a man with his own scars, she's forced to confront the walls she's built around her heart.

Aaron has never let anyone too close-not after the trauma of losing his mother and enduring his father's abuse. He's fought hard to protect his younger brother, but when Kayla enters his life, she stirs feelings he thought were long buried. Together, they find solace in each other, but the shadows of their pasts loom large.

As their bond deepens, Kayla's carefully constructed life begins to unravel. The secrets she's kept hidden threaten to tear them apart, and Aaron's unresolved pain may be the only thing strong enough to stop him from helping her.

With love caught in the crossfire of their lies and the weight of their trauma, can they find a way to break through the shadows between them?All Rights Reserved

We were never meant to be by eloradanes

Kayla Everson is a 18 year old girl, who left her home to study law in Boston. She doesn't want much from life, loves being on her own. Always worked better that way. And now that she is starting this new life journey, she has only one important rule in her heart. Do not fall in love, under any circumstance. With this rule of a shield, she embarks confident in her future. On the other hand we have the genius Aaron Andrews. He is one eager, spontaneous, very determined 19 year old, who will also study law...in Boston. He is not in a search of a special someone, yet he isn't against one either. He just never really had the time to think about it. So to sum it all up, we have a girl who doesn't want love in her life, at any cost, and a guy who doesn't really care about it. I have just one question. What happens when they meet? What happens when an unexplainable strong pull, pushes them towards each-other constantly? How do they stop this undeniable feeling? Will Kayla break her rule and make an exception? (Not likely) Will Aaron give up on this new emotion he has stumbled upon? (Not likely either) He is VERY stubborn. So what happens when secrets, lies, betrayals, pasts are discovered? What happens when the Truth comes out and turns everything upside down? Because like we all know, the truth always comes out. What happens when Kayla finds herself in a horrible position, having to make the hardest decision of her life? Will she choose love or well...love? (Kinda confusing right? Yeah I know. I'm weird.) But really, what happens? (Dual pov)
