Like every other teenager, Claire has plans for her future. She hopes that the world will not judge her for what she appears to be. Diagnosed with an unusual skin disease in childhood, she is taunted and called rude names by her fellow classmates.

As long as she can remember, she was born with half of her face red. The disease caused her nasty headaches and weaknesses. Back when she cried for the first time in her infancy, her mother also discovered that she had bright red tears instead of the normal transparent drops. 

To keep her safe from any publicity, she is strictly prohibited from crying outside her house. Moreover, her obsessively religious mother have forbidden her to talk to any boys lest she falls in “Love” with them. 

When Derek, an extremely meddlesome newbie arrives at her school, he forces her to show him the way to the school library. What seemed to be a reluctant act of kindness turns out to reveal a story hidden within the shelves of the library, awaiting to be heard. 

Join Claire along her journey as she deals with mean professors, bullies, new friends and a supernatural adventure that may risk her life and the others close to her.

"If you turn your back to me again, you better be bending over, sweetheart." *** Everyone warns you about boys who go looking for troubles, who have bruised knuckles and split lips, whose eyes are so dark that it seems like they could swallow oceans and come out alive, about the boys who look like danger, but no one warns about boys who stay silent for way too long, or ones with rings under their eyes, boys with sad eyes and boys who whisper things so sweet, so quietly that you wonder if he was an angel. Everyone warns you about the bad boys, but no one seems to warn you about the broken ones. Bar Red was a broken boy who finally finds someone to help mend his scattered pieces. Everyone saw him as the untrustworthy, unstable beast who was more than willing to punch anyone's face in. Swear words and bad habits mixed with smirks and wicked grins are enough to ward anyone off. But, apparently for Clementine, that's exactly what pulls her in. She has no clue what she's getting into but she's about to find out. She wasn't innocent, not by far, but she had dignity, a warm aura, niceness, and stubbornness that could rival a mule. Mix that with Bar's possessiveness and overprotective behavior, some interesting situations will definitely arise. Adding in the fact that Clementine had to tutor Bar for the rest of the school year and his almost instinctual urge to be apart of her life, they are bound to get close. Bar swears, Clementine hates it. He fights, she glares while bandaging up his knuckles. She reads instead of eats and he refuses dinner until she joins him. He is rude and she ignores him until he apologizes. Both, easily, frustrate the other while simultaneously falling into love. Broken boys are the only ones that can fix themselves so will this broken boy manage to do so before he drives away the one girl who wiggled her way past every barrier? This is the story of a broken bad boy clashing with the sad good girl. * #1 in the Red series Stand alone

One second her mother is there and the next she's gone. Now plagued with hard decisions and a father who is losing his cool, she has to figure out a way to move on.
