Welcome to Litsy!

Sometimes you don't need words to break a heart...
It's a painful truth Scarlett Brody had to learn when the boy she loved, Rob Callaghan—the selectively mute boy and gifted artist—abandoned her, and the affluent small town of Wolcott, before their high school graduation. Five years later, those bitter memories are locked so deep inside of her, she considers doing the unthinkable—marrying someone she cannot love.
After Rob's portrait of her winds up on her doorstep, Scarlett wants nothing to do with it or him, until he speaks to her... verbally, this time. Hearing her name on his lips shatters the barricades around her heart. Yet, that too was a mistake, because Rob is leaving again. This time, for good.
But when Scarlett finds out why Rob left in the first place, the lies of the past converge with the truth of the present. Now, Scarlett has to make a choice: rebel against her family's expectations for a second chance with the man she loves or secure her standing in society with the doors of her heart sealed... forever.
