Love never fails, right?

Blake's heart beats for Livia's, even if her hands have to keep its rhythm. Entanglements from the past challenge both their love and their lives.

But it's not long before their bond must prove its strength. Their words usher in a friendship, which awakens something in each of them. After danger subsides, their smiles become conversation. And she's surprised to discover an inexplicable connection with her new friend. When the moment comes that Livia must do more than smile, without hesitation she steps into the fray to defend the homeless man. But special or not, she smiles every day, never imagining that someone would rely on the simple gesture as if it were air to breathe. She's the same as a million other girls-certainly no one to be cherished. She dismisses this kindness as nothing special, just like her.

Each day, Livia McHugh smiles politely and acknowledges her fellow commuters as she waits for the train to the city. He stays secluded from the sun, sure the world would run from him in the harsh light of day. Memories of a broken childhood have robbed him of peace and twisted delusions into his soul. And morning and evening, the beautiful commuter acknowledges him-just like she does everyone else on the platform. He counts her smiles every day and night at the train station.
