Violet Palmer is broken. At least that’s what she thinks. No matter what she does, she just can’t shake the traumatic events that occurred six years prior, while she was a freshman in college. A trauma that no one but her twin, Keely, knows about and she only knows some of it. So, when the hottest man in the entire world, Eric Gustafson, starts to show interest, the only thing Violet can do is push him away. He’s too perfect for someone as imperfect as she is.

Eric Gustafson knew it would happen, someday. That he’d meet her, the one. He just didn’t know how it would manifest itself. For Eric, it was like this: his heart stopped beating for a second or two. Then, it started back up but in double time. He felt short of breath and dizzy, so much so he had to put his hand on something to keep himself from falling over. He leaned on the fireplace mantel at his big brother, Keeton’s, house. That’s where he first saw her. Spoke to her. Fell in love with her. Violet.
