Summary:


I wish I could tell you this is just another love story. Boy meets girl, girl meets boy. Both fall in love and live happily ever after. Is that even possible?

Instead I'm going to tell a story of passion and the obstacles two people have to overcome as individuals before they can unite as one.

What happens when two people, struggling to overcome the same demons but living two completely different lives are brought together? Shayne is just beginning her journey into the unknown, her addictions slowly surfacing. AJ has already come to terms with his own struggles, but is still fighting them each and every day.

Maybe they are brought together for a reason. But is it for the better or for the worse?

Just a heads up to any new readers out there. I started writing this long before we knew any details on AJ's album and artists he worked with.
