But as Cleo grows older, cracks begin to form in her understanding, and she starts to question the reality of her situation. With the weight of her mother's cruelty bearing down on her, Cleo resolves to hold on until she turns 18 and can escape on her own terms. Along the way, her boyfriend becomes her comfort person. He fights to give her the space, support, and freedom she desperately needs to break free from the cycle of abuse. Not knowing that his desperation for her freedom will soon ruin her life.All Rights Reserved

Swept off her feet by a sudden wave of searing attraction, Cleo finds herself living a love story too good to be true. Overnight, she becomes the protagonist of every fairytale she's ever rolled her eyes at. Yet passion comes with a price: the stability and maturity she's always clung to. And now, Cleo must ask herself - is the risk worth it?
