Le Hartely is depressed. Her life took a turn for the worse when she let her listened to her heart instead of her head, but the consequences were much worse than a few used boxes of tissue paper and continuous re-runs of Bridget Jones.
Living with her father whose profession attracts prejudiced eyes, Le struggles to remain sane and prevent herself from commiting homicide. However she finds herself in situations that ask the impossible.
Camilla Harrison's life was nothing special. She was raised mostly by her older brother, and she trusted him wholeheartedly - until the shooting.
When her brother killed her father, her entire life was torn at the seams. For everyone knows that the people you rely the most on can cause you the most pain.
Depression had overcome Camilla's life, and she was on the fast track to wasting away to nothing.
All hope is lost, until she meets the new guy. Will Jaxon Boyd be able to pull Camilla out of the deep abyss she had dug for herself? Or will she continue on the road to nowhere, slowly dying with every day that passes by?
