Dandelion Meadows is cursed.

Horrible name. Horrible luck.

At eighteen, she should be headed off to college, all smiles and naivety.

Instead, a victim of a school shooting, she's starting her senior year in a new city and living with her brother.

Nightmares of that terrible day haunt her, affecting her daily life and the relationships around her.

Forced to meet with the school counsellor, Dani finds him chipping away at the walls she's built around herself, and even her heart. Lachlan Taylor doesn't know what to make at first of the broken student he's tasked with helping. She's survived a trauma he's not sure he can save her from, but he knows he has to try.

The more time they spend together, the more they learn about what it really means to live.

Some things are forbidden.

Some things are necessary for survival.

Their love is both.
