*****That was until she met, search and rescue volunteer, Derek Wellington. He made her feel like an attractive woman. Something that she hadn't felt in so long, but Derek had his scars too. His weren't relationships like Chrissie’s. Derek’s were from his past as a dorky teenager. The past that he’d spent his life trying to overcome.
*****Can they heal their scars together? Or are two people so different from one another bound for doom?
