Books with author Eliot H. Robinson

At eighteen years old, Beatrix Oliver has had to learn many painful truths.Happiness can be ripped away in a single heartbeat, leaving cold, lonely emptiness behind.Even the fiercest, most agonising love can’t keep people with you if they decide not to stay.And not even the butterfly kisses she was always told could heal anything can take away the pain of being left behind.Starting at university is the chance she’s craved to break away from the town where she’s been an object of pity for so long. Moving to Manchester is about fun, friendship and learning. She has no intention of falling in love. In fact, nothing could be further from her mind. Love has only ever meant loss before, so why should now be any different?And then an unexpected face from the past turns up, blurring the black and white lines she’s always drawn for herself into confusing shades of grey, and she’s forced to face up to the fact that you don’t always get a choice when it comes to giving your heart away.*** WARNING ***Contains scenes and themes that some readers may find upsetting.
