Iris Jones never quite gets along with her peers. She's closed off and grumpy most of the time. She's spent her whole life pushing people away with no intention of letting anyone in ever again. Her reasoning? You won't get hurt when they eventually leave if you don't let yourself get attached to them. Lucas Miller - Luke, as he likes to go by - is quite the opposite of Iris. Optimistic, funny and caring, Luke is a softie, determined to bring Iris out of her shell and show her that not everyone is out to hurt her. But he has secrets. Is their love enough to survive the wrath of Luke's secrets? Read to find out! P.S. This story does not have explicit scenes, just a little kiss here and there and the use of cuss words, although not too many. If that bothers you, please quit now instead of spamming in the comments. Also, English isn't my first language so excuse my mistakes! I'd appreciate any suggestions or corrections on anything that I might have written wrong <3 xo Willie
