Being an abused teenager is not easy, its emotional, painful, depressing, and so on... Running for places to hide becomes a challenge. Keeping your secret life a secret from people at school becomes harder each day. You don't think anybody truly cares for you. You just want to give up, you feel useless.. Until he comes into your life. He changes everything. Everything you once thought you lost was back, but in a new type of way. You learn to trust. To take the fall. He shows you what it feels like to be loved, to feel safe, to feel protected, but will it last? Or all come crashing down?

For Jessalyn and her mom, moving to the small town of Avondale, California seemed like the perfect decision; they wanted the new scenery but what they really needed was a new start. Jessalyn Hartley had always been shy and one to keep to herself, but now, as she enters her final year of high school at Crestview High, she's more determined than ever to stay hidden in the shadows. However, all of that may change when she crosses paths with the supposed bad boy; Cason Michaels, and figures out that maybe she just had to meet the right person to break her out of her shell.
