Avery Bradfield didn't believe in soul mates or true love. She wasn't sure she believed in love at all. That is, until she met Spencer Phillips. From day one, Avery found herself consumed by Spencer and the connection that the two of them shared. He taught her that she could feel alive, happy and bonded with another on a level that most couldn't understand. Until she wakes up and finds that Spencer has left her.....again. Certain that this time her relationship is over for good, Avery is forced to endure a world that alternates between happy memories of a man she can't forget and a darkness that consumes her nearly as much as he did. Finding herself wondering if it is possible to exist in the world when half of her soul is missing, Avery is only sure of one thing- When pain consumes your every thought, you would do almost anything to make it stop.
