After enduring an abusive childhood and having her heart broken by the only boy she trusts, Alexis White vows to never let anyone hurt her again. She's left her troubled past behind and starts a new life at college. For the past seven years, her social calendar has been filled with frat parties, drinking, and meaningless sexual hook-ups. Until one night she unexpectedly gets saved by a tall, dark, and handsome French foreigner, Luc Blanchard. He's charming, sophisticated, and very interested in Lexi, who has presented herself as a challenge when she tells him relationships aren't her thing.
She finds herself sucked in by his own intriguing past. But everything changes when Dylan Priestley, the gorgeous boy who broke her heart and shattered her faith in friendship and love, suddenly shows up in her life again while back home on a visit. Dylan doesn't hide his feelings for Lexi, but she can't forgive or forget being betrayed by the one person she ever truly loved.
Despite the pain Dylan's caused her, Lexi is once again drawn to the blue-eyed-boy-next-door. Will Lexi choose the man who seems perfect but hides a dark side or the boy who smashed her heart into pieces so many years ago?
Warning: this Book Ends in a cliffhanger. This is book one of a trilogy. Release dates will be held close together.

The Book Fairy Reviews's review

So most of the time when you read a book you understand and empathize with the main character. You feel her pain and cheer her on for finding the one that will heal her and make her complete. Yeah, you get made at her for the messes she might get herself in but in the end you find that you love her so much you can over see what has done because all is right in her world.
Well, as you can probably guess I am so mad at Lexi or Alexis. yes she has had it tough, I totally understand that. Yes she has major issues and her coping mechanisms are not healthy.. totally understand. Yes, she falls into a situation that she should have been able to get herself out of.. not understand! She has two men Luc and Dylan. One is her soul mate one is the one who will pull her back into hell. So yeah I am a little peeved at her.
This book definitely pulled out major emotions from me, I mean I connected with Lexi, I could see the patterns and feel her pain. I can see why she fell into this destructive situation,she feels unworthy..TOTALLY GET IT!
Luc is sexy, and yeah he makes her hott! But is he her soul mate?
Dylan, her protector, her first love, but he broke her heart(or did he) will he be able to save her now?
Now why oh why do I feel upset? Cuz I want to see her wake up and get what she really deserves. I want to feel her happiness I want to cry for joy not out of fear or sadness. In short R.C I want more! I can't wait to see what happens next?

Prologue:
Present
January 2013
Have you ever been at such a low point in your life when you saw the light to the other side? I thought it was something that people experienced when they were old and gray and had lived a life full of hopes, dreams, accomplishments, and family. I never thought that the angel would come for me at twenty-five. It’s my birthday.
It’s also the day I die.
She’s here. I can see the light around her and feel the warmth of her presence, amber liquid pouring too quickly over my head. The heat flows between my legs.
What’s happening? So much blood leaves my body. I can’t feel pain. I see only light and crimson. This is my end, but I’m not ready. I have so many things left unfinished, so many mistakes to correct. This is all my fault. The baby will die and I did this.
He will never forgive me. I need to see him one more time. I need to tell him the truth. He needs to understand what happened. I thought life would be different. I thought I had more time. If only I had more time.
My life can’t end like this.
