Description
"Do you like him?" It was the question I'd been expecting, but at the same time it wasn't. Hearing it directly from his lips almost made me doubt my hearing. Up until this moment, neither of us had really done or said anything to confirm that something was up between us. This question, however, left little to doubt. He wanted to know if I had someone else on my mind. He was jealous. That realization makes all the blood in my body rush to my cheeks. "I don't," I manage to respond with only a slight stutter, as I pretend I wasn't completely freaking out on the inside. "He's like family to me." I watch as his face relaxes and he releases a long, steady breath. As if he'd been holding it this entire time. Then the faintest hint of a smile finds its way to his lips. "Good." *** After losing her best friend to an overdose, Anna Bray vows to never get involved in the world of substances again. But then she meets Noah. Dark and handsome but struggling with an addiction of his own, Anna finds herself pushing her own boundaries for the sake of love. What started as any other relationship soon turns into a complex turmoil of broken trust and endless questions, leaving her with a devastating choice: to protect herself, or to fight for the person she loves.
