Every life has a before and an after. An invisible line that divides a life into two halves: the before and the after... When Jude is seventeen he overhears something that changes the course of the rest of his life. Now, at twenty-five, he's guarded, distrustful, and determined to keep the rest of the world at arm's length. He doesn't need other people. He has plenty of issues to keep him busy. Until a chance meeting at a rooftop party brings Blake into his life. Blake, who's sunny presence suddenly fills Jude's empty life with laughter and happiness. Blake, who breaks down Jude's walls layer by layer and brick by brick. Blake, who makes Jude break every one of his rules. Blake, who makes Jude fall in love. But Jude's not the only one with secrets in his past, so what happens when the truth comes out? Will falling in love be enough to overcome all the challenges life has thrown in their path?
