Everyone is allowed a dream. Everyone, but Amelia Bastien. Not long after her nineteenth, Lia was left no choice but to flee her hometown. And suddenly she was homeless, broke and the guardian of her three younger siblings. With nowhere to go and no one to trust, she takes shelter in the house of a kind stranger. A man who grants her a second chance at life and promises her the safety of his home. Now, five years later, she’s stuck in an endless cycle of saving and spending. Her dreams have taken camp in the back of her head and the books by her bed have collected dust. This time, Amelia is determined to move out, give her siblings the life they deserve and end the burden she’s put on her landlord. Aaron Rivera has never been the good guy. At least, not in his parents eyes. Not since he rejected their marriage arrangements and tarnished the family name. Left to tend for himself, Aaron was weak and alone when he found her car parked in the garage of his auto repair shop. It was supposed to be harmless—an act of kindness. Now, he came home to Amelia’s coconut scented candles and his mother’s vase filled with his tenant’s favourite flowers; daises. She brought life into his lifeless house, like a ray of sunlight amidst a dark storm. Between searching for an ideal husband and working herself sick, lines blur and a friendship begins. Now, she’s given two choices. To be logical or to be fearless.
