Dakota Foster's a girl dealt a cruel hand from the start of her life. A broken home, an angry father, and a mother who disappeared whenever life became too much - she spent most of her childhood barely keeping her head above the waters that seemed so adamant on drowning her.
Now, at seventeen, she's become a cynic with a sharp tongue and an unapproachable demeanor that keeps the world at arms length.
Thinking of herself as unlovable, she's never allowed anyone to close to her heart.
Until Kacey Ward. Stubborn, relentless, with the warmest pair of eyes she'd ever seen. He doesn't scare easily, doesn't run when she pushes, and continues to chase her until the thought of a day without him feels unbearable.
Loving him becomes something similar to breathing - she'd never really thought about it, but she needed it to live.
But with her hard home life and father's addiction genes running in her vein, she's bound to mess it all up.

Cry Me A River
He wore a light blue shirt and leather jacket, and had fluffy black hair that fell into his eyes if his head was tilted just right.
