Description It's easier to control tears than fear. It’s easier to suffer in silence than ask for help. It's easier to be loved than to love. Nadia has a past. A messy past full of grief, suffering, and regret. Broken and fragile, she’s scared to share her secrets and struggles to move on. Until he comes along. A handsome face; an athletic build; the strength he emanates. He’s everything she needs to regain control of her emotions. He’s the flicker of light at the end of a dark tunnel. ⠀ But she refuses to take advantage of what he offers, too scared it’ll backfire. ⠀ Thomas carries a burden. A heavy burden that left him numb. He hides behind the mask of a playboy, refusing to feel, convinced that fate made a mistake and his job is to fix it. In his orderly world, there’s no place for joy and happiness. Until she comes along. A beautiful face; a petite body; a sea of sadness in her eyes. She flips his world upside down with one look, and maybe – just maybe, there is a reason why he’s still breathing. ⠀ Except she’s his best friend’s off-limits little sister and if he touches her, she might just be the reason he stops breathing. Sneak-peak into readers favorite quotes! “Maybe there really is a reason why I’m still breathing. Maybe she’s the reason; the chance for redemption. Maybe we’re supposed to save each other." "It’s too much. He’s too much. How he makes me whole is too much, and how I never want him to stop making me whole and normal is by far the biggest too much in the equation. But it’s perfect in all its imperfection." "He’s the most potent drug I’ve ever tried. Nothing can compare. I don’t understand why; I can’t find a single explanation, and I no longer care. Why should I? He eradicates pain." "The closer I am, the calmer she seems. The feeling is mutual. I’ve not been this quiet in my head for years, but when she’s under me, there’s no buzzing. No noise."
