Twenty-eight year old Genevieve has never had a relationship. Of any kind.
Wanting to save herself from pain of betrayal and distrust, this reserved woman has chosen to never bare her soul to another, particularly a man.
And then she meets Matt, a tattoo artist who breaks all stereotypes of the men she sees. When life throws an unexpended bundle at the pair, will Genevieve still be able to let Matt in, or will the fear of heart-ache, or more importantly, herself, force her away?
