Publisher's Synopsis
Can everlasting love grow amidst never-ending despair? Best friends Justin and Haylee learn early on that the answer is yes. Neglected as children, the two rely on each other for safety and emotional support. Over time their enduring friendship grows into something more intimate. Theirs is a forbidden romance that would destroy them both if discovered.
Justin is more than a little rough around the edges but he would do anything for Haylee. He does everything he can to protect her; but when tragedy strikes, nothing can keep her from the foster system.
Blaming him for their separation, Haylee shuts out everything and everyone - especially Justin. She tries to forget him. She tries to replace him. Still, he is always there, haunting her memories. As other harrowing realities grab hold of her, Haylee finds herself utterly alone.
Will Haylee ever discover what Justin has always known, that their love is worth waiting on; or will her demons finally get the best of her?
