Publisher's Summary

A USA Today Best Seller

This is a new adult contemporary romance stand-alone, full-length novel that includes mature content, not suitable for younger listeners (rated R).

This book is based on a true story.

Cate Forbes, a dedicated college student with a carefully plotted future, doesn't know the first thing about love. When she accepts a blind date with a rumored tasty piece of eye candy, she thinks she can get by with a night of fun. Cate's plans quickly unravel when she gets one look at the sexy...

Drew McKnight.

The relentless, hockey-playing medical resident knows what he wants - a career in oncology and Cate. Although he's heard the gorgeous brunette is a little relationship skittish, a single night out isn't what he has in mind. Determined to have her - in every way possible - he shows her just what a future with him would hold.

Only life has other plans. The unthinkable happens, and everything begins to shatter. Both in too deep, they will have to fight the cruel and hang on to the beautiful.

Warning: This book will leave you in the dark with questions. That is the point. Resist the impatient urge to skip ahead, and just enjoy the ride. All questions will be answered. Promise.

The feels

This book is still making me tear up days later. Such a beautifully and cleverly written story with a fantastic narrator. I was completely sucked in and cried for about an hour in there without stopping with my husband beside me asking what was wrong ("I can't explain it!" was my answer)
I will listen again, one day. Once I get over the emotions the first time brought me that is. The blurb doesn't do this story justice. For something very much deeper than your standard romances, give this a go. I'll be keeping it light for awhile after this, but it's a keeper.

Beautiful

Wow I have never cried so much in a story although heartbreaking to listen to it was a beautiful story and had you on the edge of your seat hoping for a great outcome but it did not the one you expected
Will listen to this one again
