Running Rings

Verity got on that bus to go home knowing that after their graduation they’d be living happily ever after.  He had stood watching her until the bus was out of sight and then the texts and pictures started. They were going to be together forever. That was the plan. But then all contact from him stopped, graduation came and went, and nothing. 

Alone and vulnerable, Verity becomes the victim of a heinous crime that almost ends her life. She has to learn to exist independently, to make friends, and start a career. But luck isn't always on her side. An unlikely hero, in the form of a one night stand, helps Verity see the lighter side of life and love. But they both know that her heart will never be whole until she knows the fate of her first love.
