One phone call changed me.

Three simple words and I was shattered.

Damaged.

Broken.

Alone.

So I started over.

And my journey of rediscovery led me straight into his arms.

Chase Porter.

The stranger who showed me life from a different perspective.

But we both had secrets…

His would destroy my world.

Review

5 Stars

This book was a definite emotional roller coaster! I loved it from start to finish.

We start off with Aria Bennett breaking the heart of the only boy she's ever loved, Parker Stone. In a moment of cowardice she told him she didn't love him. She knew she was lying, after all she had loved him from the time she was six years old. Parker was her older brother Owen's best friend and as they got older, they grew closer.

But now Aria is on the run. Running from her parents who are pressuring her and, who she feels, view her as a disappointment. Running from her fight with Parker. Running from herself and the guilt she feels. On a whim, she decides to take the trip that she and Parker had planned out together. As she's getting ready to board the flight to London, she drops off a post card for Parker letting him know her plans.

She begins her adventure by getting drunk at a bar and then spending the rest of her time in London in a fog. Disappointed in herself, she heads to Italy determined to be different. In Florence she ends up meeting an attractive American, Chase Porter, in a bar, she is attracted to him but is still hung up on Parker. When he invites her to travel with him she is torn. What happens when she follows her heart? What happens when the ghosts from home find her halfway across the globe?

Oh how I loved this book!! The characters were great and, even though I figured out the twist, I still loved it! This book had me in tears on more than one occasion, and the development of Aria throughout the book was very well done. I found my heart breaking for her and swelling for her. I was rooting for the characters and couldn't wait to see what happened next! I've already told quite a few friends to one-click this one!

Prologue

I was a horrible person.

Truly.

But I had goals, and he didn’t fit into them.

I didn’t know how to take back the words I’d said. They filtered through my brain like a bad dream that I just couldn’t awaken from. Just when they started to slowly slip away, they resurfaced. Rooted so deeply in my psyche, there was really no place for them to hide.

If only I’d known the ramifications of my actions. If only I’d known how my decisions would hurt me beyond repair.

But at the time, I couldn’t let him halt my progress. I was so close . . .

“Are you in love with me, Aria? Do you want to be with me?” Parker asked, and my heart completely stopped. I had waited so long to hear those words, for him to see me as more than a friend.

“No. I don’t want to be with you,” I replied. Even as the words left my mouth, I knew they were a lie.

I didn’t just love him. It was so much more than that. So much more than love. He was my rock, my friend. He was the lifeline that ran through me.

At the time, I thought I had no choice . . . I thought he would be able to see that after everything I’d been through I needed to succeed. I needed to make up for the loss of my brother Owen. In the end, though, my decisions were always toxic.

Toxic to him.

Toxic to Owen.

Toxic to everyone.

“No, I don’t love you.”

Those were the last words he heard as he turned and walked away.

My heart tightened in my chest as the words replayed over and over again that afternoon. A record skipping that I just couldn’t turn off.

Then the phone rang.

Three words were uttered.

Three words that changed my life.

The phone slipped from my trembling hand, and I dropped to the floor.

I couldn’t swallow. I couldn’t scream.

Cemented in place.
