What if one look could shatter everything you thought you knew… and rebuild you from the inside out? Gabrielle Sanders wasn’t looking for love—she was just trying to outrun her pain. But the moment she locked eyes with Max Thorne outside the BioMedical building, her world changed forever. A girl drowning in the shadows of her past. A boy who seemed too brilliant, too beautiful to be real. A pull between them that defies logic… and fate. She told herself she wasn’t enough. That boys like Max don’t fall for girls like her. But fate doesn’t take no for an answer. This is a story of healing, destiny, and a love powerful enough to awaken the truth buried deep in her blood. She’s not running anymore. Now… she’s ready to fight for the future she never believed she deserved.
