Publisher's Synopsis
Pain, desperation and grief. For Ashley Akerman, they are things that she has grown accustomed to feeling over the twenty-five years of her life. She always found it difficult to integrate into society, realising that her imperfections were always going to be the cause of her own insecurities. Stumbling upon the sassy Gabriela one day changed Ashley's life for the better. She was introduced into a new circle of people that accepted her for her personality and didn't judge her on her looks. But the good luck had been running for far too long... and time was up. When that devastating moment arises and Ashley loses the support system she has grown to rely on, how will she be able to continue? Will she revert to her previous life of merely existing as an empty shell in the world, or will the unplanned arrival of a certain Italian playboy throw everything into absolute and utter turmoil? Finding the strength to fight on through the destruction will be key for Ashley. Will she be able to overcome the overwhelming fear of her past catching up with her once again? Can her broken soul be repaired, or has she finally reached the point of irrevocable damage?
