“You can’t protect your heart by acting like you don’t have one.”

Six years after moving to Sydney, Jaxon’s life was in constant disarray, the nightmares becoming unbearable. Haunted by his past, incapable of connecting emotionally, he desperately searched for answers. And only one place could give him the closure he needed.

London.

Her.

But Sophie was no longer the quiet thirteen-year-old girl he used to spend his time with. Jaxon quickly realised that she was all grown up. She was way more than just a friend, and the promise he had made to her before leaving was stronger than he could have ever imagined.

“Pinky promise me Jaxon, that we will see each other again. And this is not goodbye, only see you later.”

She was young and wild, but her hard to miss attitude was just a mask, to cover her loneliness and insecurities that no one else could see—only Jaxon. They fell fast and unexpectedly. Despite the age difference, they were perfect together.

She took him to places no one else could—to face his own painful feelings while facing her own demons.

Making him feel love. While she started loving herself.

A feeling so unfamiliar to Jaxon. And so terrifying for Sophie.

Yet so irresistible.

But nothing comes easy in life.

Will Jaxon be able to face his father and let the past go?

Will Sophie let her guard down and accept the love she is given?
