The blonde broke his heart like glass on concrete.
Only picking up the broken pieces is much harder than he thought.

Ace Valentino is not one to go against everything someone tells him, but you could definitely categorize him as a bad boy. Especially one with bad habits. A broken-hearted druggie that is held under the confines of his cold-hearted, adrenaline junkie, ash blonde ex. Afraid to move on and love again, he drowns himself in alcohol & illegal substances. Ace's secrets are the things he vows to keep forever private, never to reveal them ever again. Unexpectedly, his new neighbor immediately captivates him with foreign feelings and fears most the outcome of it all.

Willow Andrews, a benevolent, tormented, naive girl that has nothing but herself and physically abusive guardian. Having never experienced love, Willow fears the unknown. Although, she is drawn to the mystery boy that is her new next door acquaintance.

In this story, two people come together not for love, but for recuperation. Or could Ace's past relationship and Willow's insecurities hold back the chance to find 'it' again? Will that change be for better or for worse? Something quite magical or melancholy in the works....
