19-year-old Leah Jones used to love her life. Now, she can barely get out of bed in the morning. Still shaken by the sudden loss of her parents, her 29-year-old older brother is the only person she has left to keep her from falling into an emotional abyss. As he prepares to move across the country for work, soon he'll be gone too, and Leah will have no one to help her. Someone like Axel Nguyen, her brother's best friend. Seeing Leah so despondent is a punch to Axel's gut. At her brother's request, Axel drops everything to move Leah in with him, to meet her every need. As Leah and Axel form an undeniable bond, the guilt of their betrayal is almost too much to bear. If their secret gets out, they could lose everything, including the one other person who means the most to them. The last thing Leah needs in another broken heart.
