She built walls to survive. He learned to climb them. Together, they're about to discover that the most dangerous thing you can do is let someone in.

Aria Morgan has three rules:

Don't trust easily.
Don't let anyone see the cracks.
And never, ever fall in love with someone who could destroy you.

She's survived a childhood that left scars no one can see, a mother who chose vodka over her daughter, and a night at sixteen that rewrote the entire map of her life. Now, at twenty-one, she's built walls so high that even she can't remember what it feels like to be touched without flinching.

Then she crashes—literally—into Ethan Cole.

Ethan is everything Aria doesn't need: wealthy, controlled, devastatingly guarded, and trapped in a life his father designed before he was born. He doesn't deviate. He doesn't stumble. He doesn't fall for scholarship students who spill coffee on his shirt and look at him like they're daring him to make them feel small.

But something about Aria gets under his skin.

Her trembling hands.
Her storm-gray eyes.
The way she says brave things with a voice that shakes.

What begins as midnight walks and whispered confessions on a frozen campus fountain becomes something neither of them expected—a love so raw, so real, so utterly terrifying that it threatens to tear down every wall they've spent their lives building.

But Aria is hiding a secret she's never told anyone. A secret buried in sealed court records and the darkest chapter of her past. A secret that Ethan's powerful, ruthless father will stop at nothing to expose.

When the truth collides with the most dangerous man in Ethan's life, they'll be forced to answer the question that breaks most people:

Is love worth the war it takes to keep it?

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free.
