Tessa Hopper understood that the cost of love was loss, a lesson she had etched in her heart from the moment she watched her sister take her final breath. And, between that tragedy and her mother's decision to walk away and start a new life, Tessa learns early on that people were just a liability.

So, why was it she kept falling for the same trap?

Why did she always allow people into her life, when she knew they couldn't be trusted?

That was something she had been asking herself since she was twelve and watched as her sister was buried. Yet, she still didn't have her answer.

Now at seventeen years old, barely any friends and a snarky attitude like her father's, you could say the girl was thriving. But, the minute you took a hard look under that tough exterior, you'd see a young broken girl who just wanted to feel loved for once in her life.
