Description
Sometimes the love our heart needs to heal can be found in the familiar eyes of a childhood friend... Julie Porter learned the hard way that trust is something which must be earned and not something to be given out lightly, those who say they love you are those who hold the power to hurt you most, and best friends can help you survive anything-until they move away. Nick Owen knows a thing or two about a hard life. At a young age Nick learned how to take a hit and to make lemonade out of the lemons life tossed his way. Returning home after nearly two years of being away, all Nick cares about now is protecting his mom from the abusive hands of his father and catching up with his best friend-the girl who lived across the street, the girl he can't seem to stop thinking about. Finally reunited after two years apart, Nick and Julie are about to learn that age does nothing to protect you from life's trials and tribulations, heartache and loss, but maybe together they'll find a way to survive.
