Publisher's Synopsis
There is a complexity to the power of true love, the way it consumes your mind, body, and soul, causing you to love someone so much that you will do anything to have them.
Life for Asimina Lopez changed drastically when her father walked out on their family, leaving Asminia and her sister to assist their lifeless, shell of a mother through difficult times. With an incompetent mother and a younger sister who required a solid female figure, Asimina assumed the position as mother of the household, vowing to take responsibility for her younger sister's upbringing. Up to her neck in adulting, Asimina began having what she considered anxiety attacks, leaving Asminia to seek refuge in her childhood best friend Sean. After her father abandoned the family, Sean became Asimina's anchor, providing her with the calmness and peace she needed to escape her reality. Sean understood her, and as far as Asimina was concerned she couldn't ask for anything more. Despite Sean being reluctant, the pair gave being in a committed relationship a try but Sean's past playboy tendencies become one of the root issues between them. What seemed to work for the couple in the beginning quickly turned sour when Asimina learned of Sean's secrets. The peace and love they once shared spiraled into a love-hate relationship, leaving them at one another's throats and seeking revenge. The secrets eventually became too much for Asimina, leaving her lost and confused about the state of their relationship. Is there more to Sean and Asimina's relationship than meets the eye? Is it all a lie, an illusion, or is their connection salvageable?
