Mia Duvall never wanted to be the girl everyone wispered about-burdened by a broken home, a violent past, and secrets she wasn't ready to face. High school was a battlefield she fought alone, with only her sister and a few friends by her side.
Then there was Travis Cole-charming, popular, and the last person Mia wanted to get involved with. Rumors swirled, but the truth was darker than anyone imagined.
Years later, fate brings them back together. But when tragedy strikes and buried secrets rise to the surface, Mia must decide how far she's willing to go before she can forgive-and if love is worth the risk of heartbreak.
Sometimes, forgiveness comes at a price. How much will Mia pay?
