Our Chance — Natasha Preston

Nell believes that no good can come from love. Her grandparents screwed it up, her parents screwed it up, so why would it be any different for her?

Damon was happy to keep their relationship casual through university, but his feelings for Nell have developed and wants more. With the aid of Nell's best friend, Chloe, Damon sets out to smash down the wall Nell's built and show her that not all love is destined to end in disaster.

She doesn't want to let him in. He won't stop until she does.
