“I have no desire to go into a party with a bunch of high school kids and I’m really not in the mood to chat it up with Maci right now, so she can brag about Kayden getting a scholarship,” my mother replies, motioning her manicured hand at me to get a move on. “Please don’t make me do this, Mom.” My sweaty hand grips the metal door handle and a massive lump lodges in my throat. I tear my gaze off the leaves and focus on her. “What is wrong with you tonight?” my mom snaps as she checks her phone messages. I have a desire to jump out, grab them all, and clutch them in my hand, but that would mean getting out of the car. They have no control over their path in life. I don’t answer, watching the leaves twirl in the wind across the yard, the hood of the car, wherever the breeze forces them to go. “Callie, are you listening to me?” My mom asks as she parks the car in the driveway. It can happen heroically, or by a simple coincidence, but there are those who don’t get luck on a shiny platter, who end up in the wrong place at the wrong time, who don’t get saved.
Some people get luck handed to them, a second chance, a save. And the more he tries to be a part of her life, the more he realizes that, this time, it's Callie who needs to be saved.Life is full of luck, like getting dealt a good hand, or simply by being in the right place at the right time. But Kayden is certain that Callie has come back into his life for a reason.

When fate lands Kayden and Callie at the same college, Kayden is determined to get to know the beautiful girl who changed his destiny. Now, six years later, she continues to struggle with the painful secret that threatens to consume her.
After the worst was over, she locked up her feelings and vowed never to tell anyone what happened. Not since her twelfth birthday when everything was taken from her. until an angel named Callie appeared just in time to rescue him.Ĭallie has never believed in luck. But one night it seemed like his luck - and his life - might finally end. If he was lucky, he could keep his head down, do as he was told, and make it through the day. For Kayden, suffering in silence was the only way to survive.
