Sweet Sanctuary

Ava Adams has had a rough start in life. Kicked out when she was fifteen by her drunk father and crack addict mother, she had to learn fast. After an encounter with her abusive boyfriend, Kyle, Ava makes the journey home in an attempt to get her life on track.
Six months after the accident and she's finally attending the College of her dreams, ready to start a new life and create a new name for herself. But what happens when she crosses paths with someone who she knows she should stay away from, but can't?

Carter Hale, the notorious play boy who has little respect for the feelings of others. In his second year at college he was sure that this year would be the same as the last, full of meaningless sex and plenty of women. That's until he bumps into a girl with auburn brown hair and a head full of secrets. His world is turned upside down when he can't get those eyes out of his mind, eyes that are full of such sadness. He knows he should stay away but can't make himself steer clear of the interesting girl who wants nothing to do with him.

When fate brings two sad souls together will they find a sort of sanctuary within each other, or will their secrets bury them alive?
