Some loves begin with a spark.Theirs began with broken pieces. Lila didn't come to the quiet town to be saved. She came to disappear from the echoes of an abusive past and the version of herself that learned survival at the cost of softness. But when she meets Jace is steady, kind, and completely unexpected. In him she finds something she wasn't looking for: safety. And maybe, something like hope. Jace knows pain that doesn't show on the surface. Love has always been something he's given freely, but never felt truly worthy of receiving. Lila changes that until fear, silence, and old wounds drive a wedge too deep to ignore.But sometimes, walking away isn't the end.Sometimes, it's the beginning of something stronger.As they fight to rebuild trust, learn to stand on their own, and find their way back to each other, Lila and Jace must face the hardest truth of all: Real love isn't about fixing what's broken. It's about choosing each other over and over anyway. A raw, emotional journey of trauma, healing, and a love that refuses to give up.
