When Julianna was four, she witnessed her mother murdered in a mugging gone wrong, a murder that her guardian angel wasn't able to stop. However, during that encounter, her guardian angel created a connection with her, a connection that meant that he could walk in her dreams, monitor her emotions, and talk to her telepathically. The catch? She couldn't know of Seth's identity outside her mind until she was twenty-one.Fourteen years later, she was a recovering alcoholic who self-harmed as a method of controlling her emotions. She hates herself, both for the fact that she's an alcoholic as well as because she can't remember anything at all about her mother. Everything comes to a head when Julianna is drugged against her will at a party, and with Seth's support she learns to protect herself and to act in a self-supportive manner.I will try to publish a chapter a day to give people a good chance to comment on the book.
