Chapter 1

In a romance that seems so simple, it sure is made complicated by Sophia and Liam. With Sophia's stubbornness and Liam's persistence, they both complicate things even further. When all the pieces of their broken relationship start to fall into place, one of them never fails to screw it up. Usually, that one is Sophia because not only does she refuse to admit the truth to Liam, but she won't even admit it to herself. On the other hand, Liam isn't afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve, but throughout this story, he learns to battle his biggest fear: rejection.
