Vanessa has spent the last fourteen years of her life in an orphanage. At sixteen years old, she's lost all hope of being adopted, until the Harrington's do the unexpected and change her life all in the span of one hour. Now she lives in a big house, goes to a private school, and has a closet full of expensive clothes. She struggles adjusting to her new life where everything is different and new. She doesn't know anything, but she knows pain. And she knows it well. Mason Pruitt is the school bad boy...or he would be if he showed his face there for more than two seconds every few days. No one knows anything about the shady life he lives or the sketchy people he hangs around, just that he's dangerous...and temperamental...and cold... When Vanessa and Mason meet, she's drawn to the darkness he seems to carry with him and he's drawn to her soft, warm, nature. They bond over the darkness that lives inside of them and the familiarity they both share with pain. They become obsessed with each other. They fall in love. He wants to feel needed. She needs him. She wants him to stay. He'll never leave her. They become a tangle of bruises, kisses, and misery. They hide from the world inside of each other, turning a blind eye to the diseases that plague their daily lives. Everything is okay as long as they have each other. But it isn't. Because it turns out that loving each other walked the same line of breaking each other, and they don't realize it until it's too late.
