I was a monster. I did what I felt was necessary to get what I wanted and I didn’t care who I ran over in the process… but that was before. Before I met London and my entire focus shifted. Now, I care about her. Making her happy and helping her navigate through life. To do that, I need to control the monster and put her needs before my own. Transitioning back into normal life is difficult enough, but when my brother gets into an accident, my entire world turns upside down. The only person I can count on is Connor. My sister views me as another thing she needs to deal with and my brother? Well, his opinion doesn’t really matter anymore. I know without Connor by my side, I’d be spiraling and probably end back in Sandywood again. forced proximity, friends to lovers, opposites attract, grumpy sunshine, redemption story
