When tragedy struck, Quinn was left with nothing. Not even the handbag made it through.
Three years later, Quinn’s focused on the things that count—getting a steady job, looking after her mother, and playing it safe. Her dreams of working for a fashion magazine haven’t just left the building—they’ve dived into the gutter, never to be touched again.
But when completing a two-week internship in the city, Quinn meets someone who makes her do the one thing she’s been trying desperately to avoid—feel. Will this sexy man who knows so much of her history help her go after what she wants? Or is their brand of passion as outdated as last season’s trends?
She’s running from her past, but her past is running faster.

Both knowing each other from the past they chance meet again in Sydney after 4 years since Liam left their hometown.
Quinn felt like when he left town he wasn’t there when they needed to comfort each other in the grief of her brother.
She feels like the outcast after the accident, not many people want to friend her or get to know her.
Old feelings come back when they run into each other and this time he goes after the girl.
It was a beautiful story that shows live can heal deep wounds.
For fans of the genre, all the goodies are here: the girl, the guy, the obstacles that draw out the process of them getting together (but not too far; this is a novella). Quinn has scars on the inside that are worse than the scar on the outside: a massive case of survivor's guilt means she subconsciously believes she doesn't deserve happiness. Liam is an A-grade hottie who struggles with a minor case of the same. Together, they manage to muddle their way through to a place where they might be able to start healing.
Through Quinn's eyes we also get another glimpse into the world of magazines, a place that the author knows well. It was nice to see Madison, the leading lady from Fame -- although Fast had none of Fame's steaminess, unless you count the smooching.
I love McKellar's writing. She is a professional editor, which means you can buy her books -- most of which are self-published -- safe in the knowledge that they will be beautifully written and professionally treated. She has a keen eye for story and her editing game is amazing.
If romance is your thing and you're keen to try a new author, why not give this novella a try? It's a great way to discover someone new. You won't regret it.

The story is relatively simple and yet the feelings are so strong they will jump out from the pages and surround you. If you've lost a loved one, you will immediately connect with the heroine and you will understand her struggle to return to a normal life and to allow herself to be happy and feel again.
It's a sort of second chance romance, even though, technically Quinn and Liam were never a couple. I enjoyed watching them reconnect and fall in love, but I had one small issue with how the book ended. I'm not sure if it's because they will be starring in other books in the series, but when I reached the end, I was left wanting more and I was a bit sad that I wouldn't see get to see them together, even if only for one chapter. I would have loved to read an epilogue a few months later, that would show what happened to them and how they lived their happily ever after.
Apart from this, though, I really enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a good romance without graphic sex and with emotions playing a big part in the story. Yes, there is the occasional curse word but there are no descriptions of "the Deed".
The book works as a standalone, even though it's a part of a series.
