We all need somewhere where we feel safe…

After leaving her abusive husband, Katherine Marshall is out on her own for the first time. She's hopped from city to city to avoid the man who made her life a living hell. When it seems she's finally found a new place where she begins to feel safe, she slowly grows confident that her life is looking up. A chance meeting with Ben O'Leary sets her life on a course and her soul on fire.

Ben launched a business that went on to viral success while he was in college, and now as a thriving entrepreneur, he's most interested in maximizing profits. A billionaire living the dream But all that changes when he sets his eyes on Katherine. Things between the two heat up as they fall hard and fast—that is, until she gets an unexpected surprise that will test the strength of their relationship.

(view spoiler)[her ex sounds scary/stalker boy... and the fact that the stalker joke Ben dropped set her off, is a good indication of that.

The series indicated it's a "bad boy" series, but Ben is freaking adorable so far. He makes clothes. FOR. DOGS. <3

We're up to what, 3 times where Kat has rejected Ben? C'moonnnn. He's seeing her everywhere. I would probably turn down a date too when approached at my workplace or the gym. I always think that's creepy? The wine aisle at the grocery store tho... how romantic ;)

FINALLY A DATE <3 and moooreee! Was so ready for their steamy scenes, and I'm glad it took this long, I feel like I know them both more now and they are so cute together.

I love their festival date in San Fran... stopping at the food trucks and sharing dessert. Feel like Katherine is finally escaping the horrors of her ex and maybe she can feel free again.

Nervous about this charity dinner. So Tim doesn't like charities (obviously because he's evil) so he shouldn't be there, but I definitely feel like this is where we're going to see him. Or maybe he's going to see Katherine in a paper afterwards. I feel like he's right around the corner.

Also, can't believe I haven't mentioned that Thalia is the best friend, she's incredible this entire time! <3
