If You Stay (Beautifully Broken, #1) - 24-year old Pax Tate is an asshole. Seriously. Hes a tattooed, rock-hard bad-boy with a bad attitude to match. But hes got his reasons. His mother died when Pax was seven, leaving a hole in his heart filled with guilt although he doesnt understand why. What he does know is that he and his dad are left alone and with more issues than they can count. As Pax grew up, he tried to be the kid his father always wanted; the perfect golden boy, but it didnt work. His dad couldnt overcome his grief long enough to notice and Pax couldnt keep up the impossible perfect faade. So he slipped far, far from it. Now, he uses drugs and women to cope with the ugliness, the black void that he doesnt want to deal with. If he pretends that the emptiness isnt there, then it isnt, right? Wrong. And its never more apparent than when he meets Mila. Sweet, beautiful Mila Hill is the fresh air to his hardened frown, the beauty to his ugly heart. He doesnt know how to not hurt her, but he quickly realizes that hes got to figure it out because he needs her to breathe. When memories of his mothers death resurface from where hes repressed them for so long, Mila is there to catch him when the guilt starts making sense. Mila is the onethe one who can save him from his broken troubled heart; from his issues, from the emptiness. But only if he can stop being an asshole long enough to allow it. He knows that. And hes working on it. But is that enough to make her stay?
