Marnie Ingram's life was far from perfect, so when the fostering agency that had been dealing with her since she was pre-teens offered her a foster family for her last year of high school, she was already packing her bags to get away from her drug abused mother, deadbeat friends and all together shitty existence, and she hadn't even gone there with her father. The trouble was, it was in Southport, North Carolina, states away from her home town in Cali.
So when she mets her foster family, a kind women with a range of children that each had their own little history, Marnie starts to feel like a normal girl again, until she meets Quinn.
Quinn seemed to hate her, and she couldn't fathom why, because she'd never met the guy in her seventeen years of breathing. And the more she stuck around, the worse his hate seemed to grow.
But when her past starts to catch up, and her father discovers there's more to the girl that he left behind nine years ago, the one person who starts to break her defenses is Quinn himself.
She'd never been into the drama of heartbreak and love, but Marnie soon comes to realise that sometimes the worst thing for someone, can be the best thing for you.
