Book 1 of the Adalyne series. The story revolves around a high school teacher Jazmin Valencia and is told in her point of view. She is confident, devoid of emotion and detached from the world, but she prefers to be this way; it's how she survives after having her heart broken. She takes notice of a particular student one day and begins to pour her energy into trying to help the young girl, but in doing so, Jazmin risks the very heart that she has spent so long protecting.
