Life is not a love song … I learnt the hard way that labels stick. Laura took “lovely”, and the teacher branded me “lady-like”. It stuck with me, even through my high school years. It felt like that was all I’d ever be. Until everything changed. Lonely Lia. Little Lia. Lia the Liar. Lia the Lost … Now the choices are endless. But I don’t want to be any of those either. My name is Lia Stanton. And this is my story. \*Warning: Some scenes in this book may contain triggers for certain readers

I look both ways before I cross the road. I knot my laces twice. Boring? Sure. But it’s also settled. Stable. Safe. And I like safe. Because broken bones may be hard to heal, but broken hearts are even harder. And when the man I loved and lost reappears in my life, I won't fall for his charms again ... will I? Joel Henley just might be my biggest risk yet. My name is Ellie Mayfield. And this is my undoing.
