Fragments of Us

At 21, Louisa Baker is a sharp-witted contradiction, fiercely independent, yet quietly fractured. She hides her vulnerabilities behind layers of sarcasm and confidence, commanding attention in any room with her bold, opinionated demeanor. Her ice-blue eyes pierce through anyone who dares to cross her, masking the turmoil simmering beneath.

As a student double majoring in Law and Psychology, Louisa is fascinated by the human mind, perhaps because she can't understand her own. Growing up in a home where her parents divorced when she was still a child, her mother means the world to her. Louisa's father, Robert, though he loves her, has defined their relationship by silence and unresolved tension.

Despite this, Louisa has a close-knit group of friends who understand her. Amanda, Beatrice, Sophia, Camilla, Tamara, Ronan, and Sebastian are her chosen family, offering stability in a world that often feels chaotic.

Even with strong friendships, Louisa feels something missing. Then she meets Killian Knox, the carefree, party-loving player with a heart of gold, who challenges everything Louisa has built around herself. His charm and vulnerability draw her in, shaking up her world and making her confront her carefully guarded emotions.

As Louisa opens up to Killian, she's forced to face the fractures in her life: her strained relationship with her father, her manipulative stepmother, and the secrets she's been running from. Caught between the person she's been and the person she wants to be, Louisa must confront her past to move forward.
