Anastacia Graham had always lived in a world where pain didn't exist.
It wasn't that she was strong or particularly brave-it was simply that her body had forgotten the meaning of discomfort. From the moment she was born, her condition, Congenital Analgesia, marked her life in ways that no one could understand. Her nerves were wired differently. They didn't send the usual signals to her brain when her body was injured. For Anastacia, pain was a concept-something that existed in the lives of others, but never in hers.
In a world where she couldn't feel physical pain, Anastacia was about to discover something far more complicated: the heart's pain-and whether she could truly open herself to it.
