Drawing On Love — Michele Zurlo

Lessons I learned growing up: 1) Take care of yourself. Everyone else will let you down. 2) People come and go. Mostly, they go. It's best not to get too close. 3) Lying and stealing are acceptable survival techniques. 4) Hide anything important.

Now that I'm free from that life, unlearning these lessons is proving almost impossible. Falling in love didn't cure me, but that doesn't stop Jesse Foraker, a security specialist who thinks love can heal anything.

Jessica Zinn is determined to stand on her own, so she embarks on a journey that will bring her face-to-face to a past she's forgotten and force her to confront the demons she still carries. Through it all, Jesse's unwavering love is a beacon that inspires hope in her darkest hours.

But is it enough?
