Too Close

Aurora always hides behind her silver smile.
The braces are just the surface of the quiet, anxious girl she always was during the time she spent and after having a traumatic experience in her former school. Social anxiety and a deep fear of touch have made her a ghost wherever she goes.She would do anything to avoid connection that could make her feel exposed.

.... But Fate had other plans.

Then there's Asher.

A boy everyone avoids. Known for his anger, his past, and the walls he's built around himself. He's the one who notices her, but helps her toward becoming better, even if it means losing her.. He's the only one who doesn't try to change her. There's something about him that makes her feel safe, even when the world around her feels like it's closing in.

What she doesn't know is that he's already planning the end - tracing it quietly between moments that were never meant to last.

What Asher doesn't understand is that some endings don't protect anyone. And by the time he realizes that, it might not be an ending he can take back.

He doesn't demand anything that will make her uncomfortable.

But his grumpy presence starts breaking through the walls she's built.

As her fears crash against his own, Aurora realizes the one person who could help her heal might just need saving, too.

But here's the thing...

When two people's fears collide, there's always meant to be damage-unless they choose to face it together.

This isn't all about love and romance. Follow them on a journey of healing, lies, friendship, betrayal and secrets.
