Life hasn't been easy for Victoria James ever since her mom died five years ago. Her father, stricken with grief, turns to alcohol to nurse his pain and physically turns on Victoria, blaming her for her mother's demise. Over the years following her mother's death, Tory becomes a recluse, breaking off all her connections as her father's accusations plague her with hurt and guilt. Then, comes the chance Tory has been waiting for since the day she found out that her mother was gone. The opportunity she had been dreaming of during every painful blow from her father and every sob of regret that wracked her body in the middle of the night. Abruptly, her father makes the decision to move away, across the state, to a town where no one knows who she is, let alone about her mother. A place free from eyes that follow her, full of pity and waiting for her to break. A place where she can finally be normal. A place where she can be just a regular carefree teenage girl. Throw in a hot jerk who Tory can't seem to get enough of and who is determined to help her discover herself and learn to love again, and she's in for the opportunity of her life.
