As love grows between a Christian girl and punk guitarist, destructive habits refuse to die easily, and abstinent love bears a heavy cost in the modern world…

When Adam and Anna first meet in high school, their stark differences cause them to dread every minute together as project partners. But in the final six weeks before graduation, a deeper understanding of each other leads to an alluring attraction neither can forget.

Fast forward seven years to Adam living as a famous rock musician, but with a drug habit that is rapidly killing him. Anna works for a high end fashion label designing luxury gowns, but her dream of saving physical intimacy for marriage is kept secret.

As their lives entwine once again, both hope their second chance at love will last, but challenges they have never faced threaten to separate them forever.

This book contains light language, implied sex, and mild drug use.


Reader Raves

“The book is a fast-paced, light read you can finish in a day… Anna is different and strong in her beliefs which is fascinating. Adam is reckless and it is beautiful how his journey unfolds…”

“I liked that the book is a clean new adult. Most of the new adult novels I come across have only smut and no plot. This is a change I’ve always wanted and I am glad that I came across Lucid.”

“I really enjoyed getting to know Anna and Adam in this great read. I will be looking for the sequel.”

“Adam and Anna’s lives couldn’t be more different, but their chemistry and sweet attraction are undeniable. This is a different take on opposites attract and I really enjoyed it. Likable characters with real depth overcoming many challenges. I’m looking forward to the next one!”

“This was such a cute, fantastic, well written read. I fell in love with the characters of Adam and Anna hard and fast. Their flaws are perfect and their story is amazing. I was rooting so hard for these characters through every struggle and every moment that seemed against them.”
