Nova Reed once planned to become a famous drummer and marry her true love. One terrible moment destroyed everything. Now she survives day by day, making choices the old Nova would have rejected. These compromises chip away at who she used to be. Each day feels identical to the last until Quinton Carter appears. His honey brown eyes pull her in immediately. He looks as shattered as she feels inside. Quinton received a second chance at life, but he refuses to want it. The tattoos covering his chest remind him constantly of his actions and losses. He has promised himself never to let happiness return, but Nova's sweetness makes him smile despite his vows. He knows his damage makes him wrong for her, yet she alone awakens something in him. Quinton faces an impossible choice between believing he deserves to begin again or accepting that his past requires eternal punishment.
