Consequence of Loving Me

Veronica Cunningham was as shallow as they came--until new depths dragged her under at just seventeen. Now--aside from her art--she prefers all things surface-level, at best.

But when he meets Veronica, he finds himself slowly pulled into her past--and her sorrow, which threatens to swallow them both. To her, Maverick is annoying--with a stubbornness that rivals even her own--but safe. Though his ocean-eyes remind her of all that she's lost. To him, she's captivating. A beautiful mystery. Until he discovers that her guarded heart is a riptide--and that his has been in the wrong hands all along... What happens when a love-destructive girl accidentally falls for a boy who's vowed to never again accept a love that doesn't mend?
