Unbound

When Bennett sees Paloma across a room, he sees her—the scared, wounded girl beneath the sharp attitude and carefully constructed walls, even though she's spent years making sure no one else could. They were each other's first real love once, a love that shattered so completely that Paloma's been determined to keep him at arm's length ever since, while Bennett has quietly remained her protective shadow, loving her from the edges. Now, as their paths keep pulling them back together, all those old feelings resurface with devastating intensity, forcing them both to confront the heartbreak that drove them apart and the truth about why it happened in the first place. This is a beautifully angsty exploration of first love lost and found again—one that asks whether sometimes the person who knows you best is worth risking everything for.
