A single kiss may change Emma Morgan's life-forever. Emma is struggling to live a lie-a life completely controlled by her wealthy and powerful father, while also being constantly manipulated by her uncaring boyfriend. She desperately wants to find some deeper meaning-some way to live closer to her own heart-before her unwanted future is carved-out like cold, hard, stone. With each passing day she feels more hopeless, hardened, and alone. It feels like a slow suicide as she gives up on all her own dreams, including her hopes of finding that one true love. Out of the blue, a tantalizing twist of fate suddenly brings David back into Emma's life-at just the right moment. Once a secret childhood crush turned lost love, she had believed that David was impossibly perfect for her, making him impossible for her to ever forget-with lingering thoughts of-what might have been? Only now, David has a mysterious past that continues to haunt him. As a struggling artist, he has been living on the edge of life, pushing all the limits, with all of the deep scars to prove it-both physically and emotionally. And the closer Emma tries to get to him, the more her life spins out of control because of him-forcing her to question everything. Emma must make a fateful decision, realizing that if she continues her relationship with David her finely sculpted life could be shattered into pieces. Driven by a passionate desire to save her, David will have to chisel his way into her heart-possibly breaking it-in order to show Emma how to create her own work of art-carved in her own image. Once this masterpiece is finally finished, nothing could ever be the same.
