Her mother left her, her father was always leaving her, never really being a father, and her best friend lived next door.  He was the boy next door and she loved him.  But she knew no matter how badly she had it, Ash had it worse.  She was his haven, the place to escape when his parents abuse became too much.  What Katie never expected was that in trying to save him she could end up hurting him.  Now after disappearing for the last 10 months Katie has to go back to her small home town to help out her dad, a man who doesn't deserve it.  There is only one person in that town Katie would ever want to see and he has moved on, or so she thought.It only takes a day before Katie runs into Ash and she knows she has to try to stay away from him for his own good.  She just never expected to still be in love with him after all this time.  Ash was her first and her only and he still owns her heart even when she tries to deny it.  Katie's only problem is deciding to stick with her plan to protect him or to let him back into her life and she what happens.I was really surprised by this book.  Katie has a screwed up life but her one constant was Ash and the same goes for him.  Ash's parents are horrible, and Katie was the only place Ash could go for comfort.  Katie knew him like no other and he always loved her, even when she didn't know.  Ash is determined to find a way back into her life.  Yes he is a damaged soul but he knows Katie is his mate.  This is an story of two damaged people who become whole when they are together.  But, can they survive the consequences of deciding to finally be together.Warning this is not a stand alone and now I will be comping at the bit waiting for the second book in this series.
