Gabriella
They say the one you never see coming changes everything and I never saw him.
I’ve spent my life being the good girl, atoning for one reckless night that shattered my family’s world. But beneath the perfect exterior I’m forced to project, I crave to be desired, to feel something.
When Brad discovers my secret he offers to help, and suddenly, I’m falling for the one man who sees me as nothing more than an innocent friend. Just when I find the courage to reveal my feelings, I’m caught in a web of secrets that could destroy everything.
I’ve spent my life keeping them, but what if this one ruins it all?
Brad
Gabriella Monroe is proof that you should never judge a book by its cover, and she’s fast becoming my biggest weakness.
With my addictive personality, I have to choose my vices carefully. My life is a constant battle, against the scars of war, the demons of my past, and the rigid routine that keeps me afloat. I lived in black and white until she crashed into my world, making me see color again.
Gabriella was never mine to keep, so I took what I could. Fragments of her are better than nothing at all but I was a fool to think I could keep my feelings in check when I offered to help her.
She’s an addiction I can’t fight, a force I can’t resist, and when she leaves, I’ll be left alone in the storm she once calmed, and I don’t know if I’m going to survive it.
