Almost isn't Love.

Sienna Cole has always loved too deeply, too quickly, and always the wrong people.

From her first heartbreak to the relationships that follow, every boy teaches her something new-about trust, about pain, and about herself. There's the one who made it seem like nothing mattered, the one who wouldn't claim her, the one who turned love into chaos, and the one she tried to save but couldn't.

Each time, Sienna gives a little more of herself away... and each time, it ends worse than the last.

By her final year of school, she's tired-of guessing, of chasing, of getting hurt. She decides she's done with love.

And that's when she meets him.

Elias Carter isn't intense. He isn't confusing. He doesn't make her question where she stands. For the first time, love feels calm... steady... real.

But after everything she's been through, Sienna doesn't know if she can trust something that doesn't hurt.
Because sometimes, the hardest thing isn't falling in love-
it's believing you deserve a love that stays.
