For Eva Winters, life turned out a little more complicated than she had imagined. After years worth of saving, she was finally ready to leave the busy city and make a change in her scandalous lifestyle.
She thought moving to a quiet, small town with her best friend would be enough to halt her inner wild-child, allowing her to settle down and have the peaceful life she seeks.
At least that's what she thought.
Turns out, shaking old habits isn't as easy as she had hoped. Throw in a sexy, charismatic sweet talker and well... Lets just say that sometimes, certain urges are too strong to control.

Austyn Bennett has experienced more trauma than any 25 year old should. She is fighting and losing against her PTSD and reckless behavior. She has no regard for her own life-only craving a temporary escape from the nothingness that resides in her soul, even if just for a fleeting moment.
She decides to leave the place she calls home to start fresh in New York at a new college, all while trying to disappear into the crowd.
She wasn't expecting him though. Dawson King. The mysterious man with a few dark secrets of his own, came out of nowhere and taught her how to fight for her strength back while simultaneously tearing down her fortress brick by brick.

Also I'm very OCD, but also a speed reader, (It's a blessing and a curse) so I'm constantly re-reviewing/editing old chapters, because I hate spelling/grammatical errors with the passion of a thousand suns. That being said, PLEASE, if you see any, inbox me so I can fix them! 🥰
