"Running from your problems is a race you'll never win."
Emma Marrone spent three years running away from the horrors of her past. Immersing herself in new friends, books and high school, she thought she'd escaped her fears for good.
So when one of her friends, Lynn, met a guy online, she thought nothing of it. Not till she realized who he was. Hair as black as coal, and wearing a familiar black hoodie, his picture brought old memories crashing back more painfully than ever. And Emma realized she'd only been running in circles.
Three years, and her past had finally chased her back.

"When I tell you that he hates me, you'll probably assume it's because he's a jerk...but you'd be wrong. He's not a jerk. I am." --- Several years ago tragedy struck Emma's home, leaving her broken... like a cup with cracks spiraling and slithering around the edges. Slowly, bitterness crept in like tar, hardening between each fracture to resemble a deceitful wholeness. She became a monster, and targeted her venom on the sweetest person she could find: Trinity Nixon. Too bad the boy Emma longed for was Trinity's brother. Now, as Emma fights to win the heart of the boy who despises her, she's forced to hide her demons. She paints her fragile cup in pinks, yellows, and oranges - all the colors of the sun. She paints on a smile, and an unusual sense of humor, so that the world will view her as bright and cheerful, when in reality she's breaking. But she's completely unprepared for the acidic truth that melts away the tar, demolishing her shell, and awakening the Emma White buried deep inside. --- Book 1 in The Dismantled Pride series *Story was previously titled "Faking It"Complete

She's learned to ignore the scars and demons and hide her secrets. Now she gets a restart at life. In a new city where no one knows or heard of her or rather "Chase". With these new faces will she hide behind this facade of her's or allow herself to be her. Will she have come this far only to have this chance ripped from right under her feet because of her old habits? Will Emma find her way back and defeat her demons? With lots of alcohol and a few bruises, here and there, along the way; Will she learn to let her walls fall and face what lies behind them? Will history repeat itself?
