One year ago at my band’s first performance, I saw her in the audience. I never knew her name, but I dreamed about her for weeks after. It just wasn’t to be. Then. Miles away from where we began, I answer her ad for a roommate in the sleepy lake town of Independence Point, WI. Her name is Jessalie Reynolds, and I get the chance I missed out on before.
 Except, Jessalie is complicated. Troubled. She suffered a traumatic loss she’s been punishing herself with ever since, and I’m not sure I can compete with the darkness of her past. Especially when I come with darkness of my own. I’m Seth Archer. Musician. Lyricist. And the very things that caused her first love to stare down the barrel of a gun and take his own life, are the very things I’m plagued with now. Bipolar 1. PTSD. Self-harm. I can control it only so much, but I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure I won’t be her downfall.

Two months ago, I came to Independence Point, WI for inspiration, and I certainly wasn’t looking for love. But it found me anyway in the form of an alluring, tall, gorgeous, and tattooed man named Seth Archer. He’s the magnetic lead singer of an up and coming, successful local rock band, and he persisted his way into my heart despite all my efforts to keep him out. I found the love, but not the muse. I’m Jessalie Reynolds: A writer who can no longer write, a woman starting over for a third time, and I’m literally drowning in a secret that could threaten our future together. Seth may have some darkness, but I’m not without my own shadows; a secret darkness that might mean the end of us. The end of everything.
I succeeded in pulling Seth back from the edge before, but this time I need him to be my savior, before the one leaping off the edge is me.

Jessalie: They say good things come to those who wait. I waited thirteen years for my life to turn into what it is now: married to someone incredibly devoted and loving in a safe home with all the promises of a fantastic future. It all happened so fast, but I don’t regret a single moment of it. Even the bad parts. Seth is absolutely everything I could have ever wanted. Seth: I never believed I’d find someone to accept me for all the ugly and the dark I’d been plagued with my whole life. I never believe that woman I crashed into over a year and a half ago now would be the answer to everything: my home, my happiness, my future. Even the darkest times seem brighter with her around. Jessalie is everything I dreamed I could never have, but hoped by some miracle I could find. Now we face our biggest challenge yet: the surprises we didn’t expect. Only one thing remains: do we have everything it takes to see it through to the end?
