Half Hearted

He had loved her with all his might. The very thought that she could be taken away from him wrecked his mind every night.

And then that nightmare turned into a reality.

She was ripped from his grasp, and the worst part was that she allowed herself to be taken from him.

When male model Ash Stymest turns into a runaway celebrity, the last thing he wants is for someone to recognize him. But soon he finds out, it was exactly what he needed.

When Teresa Smith supposedly blows his cover, her world is flipped when he shows up at her door three days later. He needs help. And right now she's the only help he allows himself to have.

Through the ups and downs of their budding friendship, Ash finds himself being drawn to her - a feeling he wanted to avoid with any girl in the first place. Teresa feels the same, being drawn to his cynical nature and self-destructing habits.

The duo find ways to heal and reconcile with past hurts.

But some, especially ones that deal with ex-lovers, just aren't so easy to patch over.
