How cruel Cupid stings hearts that long for companionship. Never a perfect match. Every fount of bliss erupts from wounds to down to our darkest secrets. Tenuous bonds of intimacy fleeting as the psyches that made them. Lover and loved made fragile as ice sculptures in a sunrise. Even still the lonely long to melt.

Asexual nineteen year old Lee falls for an experienced woman, Janise. They both like each other but sex seems to be in the way. She wants to make it work and so does he, but are they only setting themselves up for failure?

[heart]" - carolinegraced "I'm so hooked already" - a_lost_feather "From the summary I had a lot of expectation of a one night stand, one and done type of thing with drama to follow up in later chapters. What I got was something different. The beautiful descriptions of the beach town made me feel warm and cozy and kept me reading until these two characters were introduced. I thought their meeting was innocent and sweet, not what I was expecting. It was really good." - CourtneyPeterman0

What starts as a fight for survival soon becomes a fight to protect each other, with the world against them every step of the way. The girl and her rival, now more than enemies, must navigate a bond forged in silence and desperation, proving that sometimes the only person who can help you is the last person you ever imagined.
