Counting Daisies

Dylan Roberts and Cameron O’Neil were good kids. Growing up together, they shared everything. By the age of fourteen they were more than best friends – they were in love. They dreamt of their future, of success, marriage…happiness. They were going to grow old by each other’s side.

But… “Kids are stupid.”

When tragic circumstances forced them apart, Dylan discovered that life wasn’t the fairytale he dreamed of; it was dark, difficult, saturated with pain and shame. Life wasn’t meant to be enjoyed, merely survived, but even that became a challenge.

Damaged, worthless, and disgusting, he saw no point to his pitiful existence…

Until he came face to face with the boy he used to love.

Successful, honourable, and happy, Cameron had achieved the future they planned. He was good, positive, popular…everything Dylan would never be. What would happen if Dylan let him back into his world? Would he destroy Cameron too? Would his poison push him away like everyone else?

“Everybody leaves.”

“They leave or they die.”

But what if…what if Cameron didn’t?

• "Beautiful story of perseverance, second chances, and fighting for what you deserve. Nicola Haken has captivated me with her words and her ingenuity and she has once again blown me away with her storytelling. Even though the majority of this story is about finding your feet and staying on them, there is a love story here from the the first page."  ~ MM Book Escape

• "These two men....This story....made my heart ache for the boy that was lost and so desperately needed to be found." ~ Amanda, Wicked Good Reads

• "Be prepared to deal with some angst, painful and devastating moments, a slow careful buildup of passion but also humor and warmth." ~ Kindle Customer

• "Nicola has written about a very difficult subject. She has done it with such finesse though and at times i felt as though i was watching Dylan and Cam's lives play out before me. All the ups and downs they went through, while hard to read they were so beautifully written out and had so much emotion in them that you can't help but fall in love with both of them even their faults." ~ Bookaholic
