My shoulders begin to shake as the sobs I’ve been trying to contain violently break out of me. I squeeze my eyes shut and bury my head into the bed, grabbing fistfuls of the blanket. I stare at the stars until they begin to blur from the tears that are clouding my vision. Slowly sinking to my knees, I place my hands on the edge of the bed and run my fingers over the yellow stars poured across the deep blue background of the comforter. I stand up and look down at the bed, holding my breath in fear of the sounds that are escalating from deep within my throat. Hopeless is a novel that will leave you breathless, entranced, and remembering your own first love. Only by courageously facing the stark revelations can Sky and Holder hope to heal their emotional scars and find a way to live and love without boundaries.

Though Sky is determined to stay far away from him, his unwavering pursuit and enigmatic smile break down her defenses and the intensity of the bond between them grows. Something about him sparks memories of her deeply troubled past, a time she’s tried so hard to bury. From their very first encounter, he terrifies and captivates her.
