Was braucht es, um ein gebrochenes Herz wieder zusammenzusetzen? Seit Axel vor drei Jahren Leahs Herz in tausend Stücke zerbrochen hat, versucht sie, sich abzulenken. Doch der Flirt mit ihrem Kommilitonen Landon wird schnell langweilig. Nur beim Malen kann sie ihre große Liebe zeitweise wirklich vergessen. Als ihre erste Ausstellung bevorsteht, taucht Axel unerwartet auf. Sobald sie sich in die Augen sehen, ist die Anziehung zwischen ihnen unbestreitbar. Axel bietet sich als Leahs Agent an, was sie kurz entschlossen annimmt. Auf einer Geschäftsreise nach Paris kämpfen sich die lange unterdrückten Gefühle immer mehr an die Oberfläche. Doch hat ihre stürmische Liebe dieses Mal eine Zukunft?

Eine Liebe, für die du alles riskieren musst. Eine Liebe, die für immer ist. Wenn du darum kämpfst. Leah Jones liebte ihr Leben. Doch seit dem plötzlichen Verlust ihrer Eltern kommt sie morgens kaum aus dem Bett. Ihr Bruder ist ihr einziger Halt, bis er aus beruflichen Gründen wegzieht und Leah das Gefühl hat, vollkommen allein zu sein. Da beschließt Axel Nguyen, der beste Freund ihres Bruders, sie bei sich aufzunehmen. Er ist fest entschlossen, die Mauern einzureißen, die sie um sich herum errichtet hat. Womit er nicht rechnet, ist, dass er bald mehr als Freundschaft für Leah empfindet. Die Anziehung zwischen ihnen wird immer größer, doch um ihr ein besseres Leben zu ermöglichen, ist Axel bereit, alles zu tun. Selbst wenn es bedeutet, Leah erneut das Herz zu brechen.

"Three years without seeing him. Three years without Axel. How do you move on from a broken heart? Three years have passed since Axel Nguyen shattered Leah Jones' heart into a million pieces, and Leah has spent every moment of those three years distracting herself from the devastation. She tries to move on with Landon, a guy she meets in college, but she can only truly escape thoughts of Axel when she's painting. At least one good thing has come out of all of it: her dream of exhibiting her work is finally coming true. Axel is achingly aware every day of how much he misses Leah. The moment he learns about Leah's exhibit, Axel can't think about anything else but to go see her. Being in the same room with Leah, as beautiful and magnetic as he remembers, leaves Axel desperate and Leah breathless in his presence. He offers to be her agent; she accepts. One work trip to Paris later leaves Leah and Axel full of pent-up attraction and wondering if their whirlwind romance is a forever kind of love or if it's better off left in the past"--

"Nineteen-year-old Leah Jones is struggling to cope after she and her twenty-nine-year-old brother Oliver lose their parents in a horrific car accident. Leah was in the car and is plagued by nightmares, intense grief and numbness-her life as she knew it is over. Oliver hates leaving Leah at a time like this, but the only way he can support them both is if he transfers to Sydney for work. He implores his best friend Axel Nguyen to let her move in with him in their hometown of Byron Bay and watch over her while he's away. Oliver, Axel and Leah have known each other since childhood. For Axel, seeing Leah so broken and devastated is a punch to the gut. He promises himself he'll do anything to bring the light back into her eyes, no matter what it takes. He would be shocked to learn that Leah is in love with him. Little by little, as he does everything in his power to bring Leah back to the sparkling, energetic beauty he's known, he falls in love with her, too, even though he feels that he's betraying Oliver's trust. Before he can tell him, Oliver finds out about Leah and Axel's relationship and is outraged. He insists Axel prove his love by letting her go so she can fully experience life at college. Axel agrees to break both of their hearts, and stoically breaks up with Leah so she can start a new life, not realizing the repercussions that will affect them both for years to come"--

Heather thinks she only knows how to attract problems and run away, which is how she ends up in Alaska, working as a waitress while trying to lead a new and quiet life where her only problem is that one of the owners of the restaurant seems to hate her and that she has never met anyone that arouses her curiosity as much as he does.
