Abandoned. Hated. Bullied. Ericka Miller has known pain in every form-and survived. Alone in a dingy apartment, scraping by on café wages, she clings to hope like a lifeline. The world may have turned its back on her, but she refuses to break.
Then there's Ace Williams: rich, ruthless, and Ericka's worst tormentor. But behind his cruel smirks hides something no one expects-a fractured soul and a heart he forgot how to use.
So what happens when destiny throws them together? When the bully and the broken girl are forced into each other'sn orbit?
Sometimes the one who hurt you most...
is the only one who can truly see you.
