Running back wood trails usually meant freedom, but waking up bound to a dirty pin striped mattress, seventeen year old Samantha's world is anything but free. With a masked abductor reassuring her while he repeatedly injects her arm, she is terrified by his promise: one day she'll fall in love with him realizing too late who he truly is. Walling her heart proves difficult when eighteen year old Blake moves in next door and she discovers she may be more damaged than she'd thought. Her body's changing. She must unearth the truth behind the monster or risk experiencing worse things than just falling in love.

As if life wasn't hard enough being bullied and treated like garbage all the time; my loathsome, insufferable seat mate just had to come with his "secrets" and torture my every waking hour. What's the big deal you say? Nothing except for the fact that he's some insanely beautiful Greek God under those nerdy glasses. And now, he lives next door. I'm Sarah and this is my story.
