By Lisa Eugene

Is that how a little girl sits? No, Daddy. How should a little girl sit? Shoulders back and tummy in. And how should a little girl look? Always neat and pretty That's my girl. Twenty-four-year-old Alexa Kennedy is beautiful, sharp as a whip, and at the top of her medical school class. She's also been waging a war in her head for as long as she can remember. Depression. Hatred. Self-loathing. These feelings feed the pain inside her, fueling her quest for a perfection that she can never achieve. In one life-changing moment, Dex Blakewell crashes into her world. Dex is funny, gorgeous, and irresistible. He chases away the darkness and fills her with light and laughter. An unusual friendship blossoms, making no demands or expectations. Friendship turns into an unexpected love and a delicious passion. Alexa realizes that the only thing tethering her to sanity is their connection. But even Dex's strength can't keep her demons at bay forever. When life overwhelms, the outside world starts to mirror her inner turmoil. And when Dex discovers she's been keeping horrible secrets, will she finally shatter or find a way through the darkness? Will the promise of love be enough to save her from self-destruction?
