Smiles are deceiving, feelings are hidden. What a beautiful facade you have.

Blake Turner has one goal: survive the next eighteen months, get her diploma, and disappear. Everything else-her boyfriend, her friends, her once-perfect life-is already gone. All that's left is endurance. Eighteen more months of keeping quiet. Of hiding the truth about what happens behind closed doors. Of pretending everything is fine when nothing is. She can make it. She has to. Liam Cole doesn't do attachments. Not when loyalty to his crew is the only thing that's kept him alive these past two years. Dragged into gang life too young, his world is built on violence, loyalty, and nights that end with no names exchanged. His past haunts him. His future? Already decided. His heart? Off-limits. Hardened. Untouchable. But when he crosses paths with the school's most hated outcast-the quiet girl everyone whispers about-everything he thought he knew begins to unravel. But some secrets refuse to stay buried... And when the truth finally breaks free, it leaves no one untouched.

She was curious. But she didn't know her curiosity would lead to loving the boy. Maybe his silence was what surprised her the most.

Adrienne Rebel Bennett has always been the quiet girl on the corner. The girl who never talk to anyone. The girl who has no friends. But what they don't know is that she is also the girl who is abused at home. Then there's Jarred Summers. The boy everyone loves. The boy girls dream of being with. The boy every guy wants to be. So when Jarred discover Adrienne's secret, will he help her or will he just ignore her just like the others.
