Singing, playing the violin, studying like crazy and lastly enjoying the little free time she has with her friends- this is all she needed and all she wanted- a normal life. Kala, an honor student, living in Vienna with her oh- so- happy-family, is always under pressure to be the best, and to preserve the family name. Her past has been filled with gruesome memories, she tries to hide and forget- but there are scars unable to heal on her heart and mind. One night she becomes witness and victim to a murder, and almost loses her life, which was saved by Aaron,- who now owns it.

Isobel Davis will never forget the night she was snatched into an alley and brutally raped while a knife was pressed against her throat. She will also never forget the boy who saved her. But even though he saved her that night, how can he save her from the nightmares that follow, waking her up in the middle of the night and bringing her to tears. Robert (Bobby) Slade has always been known as the local badass. Half the teachers at the high school want him suspended indefinitely, and the local police know him by his first name. He has always been bad news. When he saved Isobel that night the smart, beautiful, head-strong girl that he had secretly admired over the years had been torn apart and ripped to pieces, and the girl in her place was just a shell of what she once was. But Bobby will stop at nothing to find that girl that he had once admired, and bring her back. He will save Isobel, even if it meant saving himself too..... But with a stranger lurking in the shadows, both those tasks may prove to be more difficult that either of them had expected.....
