Prologue

Used and abused by her manipulative ex-boyfriend, Natalie is at her all-time low. Unable to trust anyone, she withdraws into herself, leaving her friends and family behind as she slowly loses herself to her demons. She feels utterly alone until she meets Nicholas, a new transfer student who is, at first sight, a carbon copy of her ex – an attractive and charming player who is after one thing and one thing alone. She’s in for a surprise when, after facing her adamant rejection, he doesn’t give up on her…And he’s in for a challenge, because she promised to never tear down the walls she built around her heart.
