Good Hurt

Is it really love if it doesn't hurt? Addison Blaise is an addict, but not in the way you might think.

In two months, Addison will leave her sick mother behind, fly across the country, and pretend to be a normal college freshman.

Her parents and older brother went to Harvard; now it is her turn. Go to Harvard, major in BioChem, become a world-renowned researcher, cure cancer... It was her dream. But that was three years ago, before the incident and before pain, anxiety, and fear ripped her mind apart. Now, faced with the reality of living on her own, thousands of miles away from the safety of her home, that dream is terrifying.

No, Addison certainly didn't need any more pain, but that didn't stop her from wanting it all the same. She didn't ask to fall for him, but something about her older brother's friend, Asher Aves, was impossible to resist. Was it lust? Was it love? When would enough be enough?

Try as she might to stop herself, when the hurt is this good, it's never enough.
