Lucy has spent most of her life feeling like an outcast and choosing to be alone. It keeps her safe. She'd never dreamed she could find acceptance, fun, or laughter until she met Ben. He'd taught her how to be social, and looked after her like a big brother. But it was when she met his family that her life really began As she negotiates the confusion of love and lust, mixed with the new experience of a huge and loving family, her past sneaks up on her and some of her biggest fears are realized. Lucy's reflex response is to run, and be alone. When all the reasons she's hidden herself away are questioned, she must face the love that scares her the most. But will that be enough to bring her home.
