Maria was born from a rich family. She had everything she ever wanted except her parent's love. They treated her like a puppy, only to be watched over for so long. They neglected her and that action changed her life. Her mother neglected her when they went to the playground. That day became the worst day in her life. Why? Because she was raped at the age of 9 that same day by two men. The two men are in jail now, but that doesn't help. She will always be scarred. Even though Maria is 17 now she still can't get the image of the her screaming for help and the two men laughing, out of her head. Because of that she doesn't live a normal teen life. She doesn't open herself up to anybody except her best friend, Sarah. Is that all about to change when she meets the hot and irresistible Alex? He's out there, unlike her. He's popular, unlike her. She likes him, but brushes it off thinking only she feels that way. He likes her too and can't help to feel that attraction towards her. He wants to get to know her more than he should or she would allow. The only problem is:Will she let him in?

My name is Jasmine Clark and my life is set for a drastic change when Social Services learn of the neglect my mother inflicted on me after my father's untimely demise. I am taken away from my home and sent to live with an old friend of my father's; James Andersen, his wife, Lilly, and their seven sons. Living in a house with seven boys is no walk in the park, either. This is me, surviving the Andersen brothers.
