June Talledga has spent her whole life protecting herself. Everyone believes she's the eccentric, happy, center of attention- but truthfully, her demons are darker than most. The only person who has ever been able to see her past her surface is Axel Price, the storm to her raging sea. Battling her feelings and her past, June must decide if the risk of pain is worth the reward of love. Will she overcome the hand she's been dealt, or will she let it drag her back beneath its unrelenting grip? Axel Price thinks it's easier to be void of all emotions. He drowns himself in his career as a fisherman in an attempt at forgetting the woman who walked away three years ago. He thought he was moving on until she randomly shows up at his house, and to his surprise, is living with him. Trying to keep his distance-but doing a terrible job- Axel is confronted with the choice of letting her fully into his heart, or shutting her out completely. Faced with difficult circumstances, he realizes he would rather lose all of himself than lose her forever. For some of us, it's the storms that show us who we really are, not the calm of the sea.
