When a promising gymnast’s future is shattered by injury, she forms a bond with a burn survivor from a troubled past—but as they grow closer, he’s convinced he doesn’t belong in her world…or with her.

and faces many months in hospital.

give him something to look forward to,

help him heal.

But they're wrong.

I don't help Spider.

He helps me.

Ends up giving me everything to live for.
