All of his life, Yeshi has been dealing with his own demons. One after the next, he’s tried to fight them until one day, they won. Defeated and at the bottom, Yeshi feels as if there is no way out. Just when all hope is lost, along comes beautiful and God-fearing, Logan. She’s nothing like the women Yeshi are used to, nor does she desire to be. Imagine how life altering it must be for Yeshi to finally find a woman who can help fight his past, only for him to realize he’s incapable of loving her. Luckily for him and her, with love and God on their side, they can do anything. From the moment they first met, East and Killian have been on a continuous roller coaster and going up and down on life’s machine of obstacles. Whether it’s outsiders of each other, they’ve been through it all, barely succeeding each time. Now, with a new baby in the mix, the couple’s troubles seem as if they’re just getting started. Luckily for East, Killian isn’t the kind of man who folds under pressure. Filled with love, determination, and strength, Killian bears their burdens to finally give East the life she’s dreamed of. To love and be loved, that’s the motive. Join these couples as they find the hidden truth behind the beautiful nightmares they’ve been living."

Tall, dark, and... Killian would have liked to say handsome, but that would be a lie. In its place, he could add paid, successful, well-dressed...maybe even a good man, but definitely nothing that would accentuate his good looks. That was the one thing he just didn’t have. Well, not personally anyway. Thanks to his thriving career as a fitness trainer, he’s surrounded by women every day. They just don’t belong to him, and honestly, he’s okay with that. After continuously being turned down, looked over, and frowned upon, Killian has chosen to block off the avenue to his heart until the right woman can find him. He is done looking for love, so if a female wants to pursue anything serious, they would have to approach him first. Had he known the beautiful young, vibrant, East, would be that person, he would have run for the hills. Just as crazy, just as mean, and just as guarded as Killian, East quickly becomes the challenge he’s been avoiding. However, unlike Killian, East is ready for love. One bad relationship after the next, her heart should be too damaged to mend, but not for Killian. A self-made broken-hearted guru, Killian is the man for the job. A small skill he’s acquired after stitching the pieces of his own heart back together too many times before. Though East is ready for happiness and open to loving Killian, she’s no easy target. With a horrible attitude and a terribly rude mouth, Killian isn’t the easiest person to get along with, unless you’re a self-assured spitfire named East. Take a chance and fall in love with another one of A’zayler’s page turning romances. Killian and East are a love story for the ages."

Unfortunately, for them, they’d been terribly wrong. Assuming they’re too damaged to repair, what is the couple to do? Calling it quits would be the easiest, but whoever said real love was easy?
