Used and abused by her manipulative ex-boyfriend, Natalie is at her all-time low. Unable to trust anyone, she withdraws into herself, leaving her friends and family behind as she slowly loses herself to her demons. She feels utterly alone until she meets Nicholas, a new transfer student who is, at first sight, a carbon copy of her ex – an attractive and charming player who is after one thing and one thing alone. She’s in for a surprise when, after facing her adamant rejection, he doesn’t give up on her…And he’s in for a challenge, because she promised to never tear down the walls she built around her heart.
Nicholas Adams has lived a life of abuse from his alcoholic father and sex addict mother. So growing up was tough. He makes sure everyone fears him. He refuses to get close to anyone. But, new girl Alice might be the one to change his plans.
Alice navigates through the ups and downs of high school trying to hide her feelings for the cold and closed off Nicholas. Little does she know, Nick harbors the same feelings.
As soon as Nicks eyes land on the fragile Alice, his heart desires her. But with so much baggage on both sides, could they really make it out of high school hand in hand?

"I love the things you hate about yourself. And we're going to do this your way. If you're not ready I'm not either." My hands drop to my side at what he says and my eyes fill with tears.
"Alice we don't have to..." His hand cups my cheek and I place mine over his.
"I love you," I whisper and his forehead falls against mine.
