Love, like light, will always find a way in through the smallest of cracks, the tiniest of fractures-even the invisible ones like those caused by fear, and pain, and violence...

Cat-no, not Catherine, just Cat-is still struggling to recover from a traumatic breakup when her family moves to the bustling city for a fresh start. Determined to redeem herself for the damage she has caused to her family and her ex, Cat vows to avoid anything that could put her heart at risk again.

Until she meets Ronan.

On the outside, Ronan has it all. He's a straight-A student and the star center forward of his high school hockey team. Smart, protective, and with the face and body of a young god, Ronan is the kind of guy girls want to sleep with and guys want to be friends with. But behind the perfect façade, Ronan is hiding a dark secret that threatens everything he holds dear.

The moment they meet, Cat and Ronan are drawn to each other, yet desperate to resist the magnetic pull, each wishing to protect the other. Cat doesn't trust herself around boys like Ronan, and Ronan believes he could never be enough for someone as good as Cat, but they find themselves unable to fight their rapidly growing attraction. When Ronan sees the fractures in Cat's soul, mirroring his own pain, he longs to save her from the darkness... No matter what it takes.

In this gripping coming of age romance, Cat and Ronan must confront their deepest fears and darkest secrets. Can their love be strong enough to rescue each other from the shadows that haunt them? Or will the pain that binds them also tear them apart?
