After the passing of her parents and a messy breakup with her now ex-fiancé, twenty-year-old Kamryn Arliss finds herself living on the corner of a busy street in San Francisco. She’s hungry, terribly thirsty, and she’s running out of motivation, but when she finally gains the courage to meet the gaze of the handsome man who glances at her each day, things may just get a little easier.
 
Decker Shepley’s main goal is one thing and one thing only: redemption. On his trek to and from work every day, he can’t help but notice the pretty girl with dirt-ridden skin that’s been staying outside his apartment. Although he has no idea who she is or why she’s there, something strange pulls him towards her, and it’s not long before he takes her in. He knows he can’t change his past, but if loving her with all he has is what it takes to redeem himself, then that’s what he’ll do.
 
Their inevitable connection grows by the day, but Decker hasn’t told Kamryn the entirety of his past, and by the time they realize they may be more tied together than they originally thought, the damage has already been done. The most unlikely and unfortunate circumstances surround their relationship, and it’s impossible for anyone to come out unscathed. Determined to be happy but destined to be heartbroken, Kamryn is faced with a choice— the past or the future?
