Vera Gallagher is chasing constant.
For four years, her life was anything but normal.
And the years before that she refuses to even remember.
Dwelling on the past only hurts.
Life is fragile, a lesson her mother taught her well.
Shes determined not to waste a moment of her newfound freedom.
Maybe some would consider her crush on Mateo Eden wasted time.
Maybe some would call her a fool for loving a man who hasnt once dropped a crumb of interest her way.
Still, to Vera, its Mateo or nothing.
Hes handsome.
Charming.
Witty.
And he loves his family the way Vera loves--with her whole heart.
Maybe hell never notice her.
Maybe shes too damaged, too broken, to find that normal life she craves.
Maybe her secrets will always keep them apart.
But Vera will love him anyway.
Whether Mateo realizes it or not.
