Sometimes the only thing left to do is return to the place you once called home.

Bailey Walker

It’s been two years since I left home after mistakenly believing lies I thought were truths. I promised myself I wouldn’t hurt my family again, and that after everything I’ve done, staying away was the only option.

Until now, when the little boy who saved me from my spiral of self-destruction needs help I can’t give him, but I know who can. I don’t deserve their help, but it’s my turn to rescue Javi, even if it means facing my family and the girl I’ve been running from.

Kaitlyn Price

My life plan so far is as solid as cracked glass being held together with duct tape. Everyone around me, including my boyfriend, Hunter Walker, seems to have it all figured out.

I’m terrified of the future, and as if it isn’t hard enough to figure out what I want, the return of Bailey Walker shatters my plan. I’m torn between the past, the present, and my own happiness as the truth from two years ago threatens to burn us all alive.
