Misery loves company, and that’s exactly what Ella gets the afternoon her path crosses with Teller’s: the misunderstood premed student who instantly becomes her lifeline when she moves to Los Angeles, an attempt at escaping her heartbreaking past. In the beginning, Lonely and Defensive complete each other. But in the end, their relationship is like broken glass—cutthroat and jagged. Calling it off before they kill each other, Ella and Teller decide to “just be friends” despite the intensity that binds them together.

Unable to deny what’s between them any longer, this is what happens when wrecked and damaged collide and close is still not close enough.

    They were only trying to deal with bad situations at home when they became lifelines for each other. Their pipe dream was to someday meet in LA, where Lucas would design skyscrapers, and Gabriel would learn to fly. But then Gabriel disappeared without so much as a goodbye, and Lucas got himself in trouble with the law. Five years later, both men are at a loss when they run into each other at a Hollywood bar. Lucas is still angry, but it’s not as if Gabriel could control how his mind and body had betrayed him. Being found on the ledge of that bridge had changed everything. The attraction is immediate, but it’s more than their inability to keep their hands off each other. Neither man expects the fierce connection pulling them together. Unfortunately, ignoring their problems doesn’t make them disappear. Gabriel’s internal struggles are serious…dangerous. And no matter how much Lucas wants it to be true, saving Gabriel won’t make up for not being able to save his mom. If they don’t find the strength to face their own demons before the darkness takes hold, they risk more than just losing each other forever.

    He also used to be my best guy friend (aka: secret crush) until he rejected me and my lame attempt to finally get out of the “friend zone.” Let me tell you, it was awkward. After that we barely talked for a whole year—though we had signed a contract and everything when we were twelve—“Best Friends Forever.” Then out of nowhere, he moved away without even telling me goodbye—ouch! However, now he’s back. Only he didn’t even tell me! I accidentally ran into him—that’s how I had to find out—and then I almost did a face-plant because, oh my gosh—he’s even hotter. (Didn’t realize that was even possible.) But yeah, he’s smokin’ hot. But if my annoyingly gorgeous fist love thinks I’m going back into the friend zone—no way! Unrequited love hurts. So I hired a fake boyfriend. A hot one that will keep me distracted, and keep Conrad on his toes and at a safe “friendly” distance (and maybe even jealous??). Nothing can go wrong with this plan, right? Wrong! My hot fake-boyfriend seems to keep forgetting we’re fake. This is NOT helping my tortured teenage heart, it’s doing quite the opposite, and it’s not doing much for my grades either—since it’s hard to concentrate when your first love is suddenly looking at you like he wants out of the friend zone too. BUT he’s now dating a cheerleader … so excuse me while I bash my head through a wall, and apply for a heart transplant (and an eye transplant too—since I want to poke out my eyeballs from seeing them together.)
