After discovering her boyfriend's betrayal, Callia Jensen is forced to confront the family relationships, buried trauma, and the quiet loneliness she's carried for years.
But before she can figure out how to move forward, tragedy strikes.
Suddenly, Callia and her older sister Jennifer are left picking through the ruins of a family that was already falling apart.
And somewhere in the middle of all that is Anthony Hale. He's not trying to save her, and maybe that's why Callia keeps finding herself drawn back to him.
But healing was never going to be simple.
But falling for him means risking her already fragile heart and Callia isn't sure she can survive being broken all over again. Especially, when the past she tried so hard to escape suddenly comes back into her life.
Some people leave scars that last forever.
Because some people break you and some people teach you that even after everything, your heart is still capable of choosing hope.
