In the city which never slows down, all Autumn Willows wants to do is write stories which makes the world pause... for just one moment. Autumn is twenty one years old and living in her cousin Bethany's New York City one bedroom apartment after running away from her abusive home outside the city. Autumn struggles to fit in. Her only company is her journal and books which she carries every where she goes. She believes her life hasn't even started, yet at the same time she believes it's ending. She's never been in a relationship before and doesn't plan on it, until him. Ollie Blacksburg, the guy him comes in to Brews N Books every morning and orders the same damn thing, a black coffee. He's the guy who sits under the dim lamp in the corner of the coffee shop. He believes he's only just getting started with his life at just twenty five years. One hand holding his cup, the other holding his book. He never looks up - until one day he does and their eyes meet across the cluttered cups and coffee-scented room. This feels different for Autumn, she's feeling something... something irregular, something new. Ollie's forgotten book left in the corner of the coffee shop one morning changes Autumn's life forever. Their love for one another is intense and poetic. Just sometimes the boy in the corner is exactly the chapter she didn't know she was ready to live.

I began writing this at 15 and finished it at 17. It is my first novel, give me grace for that. [Warning: this book contains explicit content, crude language, drug use & abusive scenarios.] He tried everything, everything, everything to forget her. No matter how hard he fought, the memories wouldn't fade. She wasn't some dream girl, she was the dreamy one who taunted him. A blonde viper that shattered every part of him. But picking up the pieces? That's the part he never thought he'd get around to. Ace Valentino doesn't do what people expect-he's the guy who walks on the wild side just because he wants to. A brooding young man with a dark side fueled by brokenness, addiction, and bad decisions. His heart is still held hostage by his stoic, adrenaline-obsessed ex. How could he move on with that? It isn't plausible. So, he drowns the pain with alcohol and anything that numbs him. But Ace has secrets, ones he vowed to bury forever. Then, his new neighbor moves in and suddenly, something inside him stirs-something he's not ready for, and everything he's terrified of. Willow Andrews, sweet yet scarred, knows nothing but loneliness. Her guardian's abuse has built walls around her big heart. Love is a stranger to her, and she's afraid of what she doesn't understand. But something about Ace, the tortured soul next door, draws her in-despite the fear. In a world where love is something they can't quite reach, Ace and Willow collide. What could possibly come of this? Can they save each other, or will their pasts break them before they have a chance? The line between magic and misery is thinner than they think-and the change they both desperately need might just be the thing that destroys them, or... sets them free.
