One day, Taaliah is surprised with unexpected news of her mums friend moving in with them with their children. Taaliah is not too keen on this but it would be selfish to say something after what they've been through.

He had been in one relationship before for a short period of 2 months with Sara Rome, who had a complicated family with divorced parents, dad and brother in jail and hating her dad and stepmother; after her brother had gotten out of jail, the two were forced to split. Zane never opened up rather everyone opened up to him. To everyone else Zane's breakup wasn't a big deal, his past wasn't a big deal and for him to open up was impossible.
For Taaliah, nothing had ever changed and she never wanted it to either. Everything was different when Zane declan stepped through her front door. The three things that mattered to her the most were destroyed.
but was the 'different' a good thing?

Jason Merris had always carried a bit of extra weight, but after his father's passing, it only got worse. At sixteen, he was pushing nearly three hundred pounds. High school became a battleground, with bullies and his own social anxiety making every day a struggle. Coping with grief, he turned to food. His mother indulged him with well-meaning but excessive cooking, all in the hopes of seeing her son smile again. Jillian Lins, a feisty redhead from a close-knit family, had her own struggles. Raised by her grandfather while her parents worked tirelessly, she battled with an attitude that masked her underlying sweetness. But a tragedy before high school left her bitter and guarded, a simmering anger waiting to erupt. Their paths collided in high school, with a misunderstanding sparking Jillian's relentless torment of Jason. For four grueling years, he endured her wrath, retreating into himself while keeping his pain hidden from his mother. Jason's life took a drastic turn post-graduation. With a scholarship to a private Florida university, he threw himself into studying and boxing, shedding both weight and what emotional baggage he could. Meanwhile, Jillian found herself trapped in an abusive relationship, fleeing only after enduring years of torment. Seeking refuge back home, her family is now working hard to put the pieces of her shattered mental and physical state back together again. Years later, Jason returns home for a brief respite from his new job, only to find his mother befriended Jillian's family in his absence. Old wounds reopen as bully and victim are thrust together once more. But Jason is not the same timid boy, and Jillian is grappling with new, potent demons. Can they reconcile their past in the short time he's home? Or is the divide between love and hate too vast?
