From him.Starting over was supposed to mean freedom, not sharing a space with Liam Kendricks, the campus football star. But when forced proximity turns late-night tension into something deeper, Liam becomes impossible to ignore. And when Elle’s past comes crashing back into her life, the one man she tried to avoid loving may be the only one strong enough to stand between her and the darkness chasing her.This is a sweet and spicy story, but it does deal with real world issues such as abuse, assault, drugs, harsh language, sexual situations, and non-descript mention of suicide.Please take these trigger warnings into consideration and make the best choice for yourself.There is a HEA and swoon-worthy MMC to help bring some light to the dark.
