When her father re married she thought it would all change, she was wrong. Her new stepmother was anything but nice, beating her and tearing down all her hopes. She was sucked into a dark world that she couldn't get out of. That is until she meets Lincoln. Lincoln Carter, the popular bad boy who is known for street fighting and crime. Lincoln is determined to show Hayden what he sees but all she can see is what she has been told all her life.

EXCERPT:
"You shouldn't trust me, Heaven." He whispers. "I break everything I touch."

I take a deep breath in and lift my hand to his face, slightly stroking his strong jaw.

"I guess it's a good thing I'm already broken." I whisper back looking deep into his eyes, trying to untangle all the bad thoughts that lay beneath his tough exterior.

He doesn't say anything in return so I continue, "It doesn't matter if you break me further, Lincoln. You just have to be there to pick up the pieces and I'll put us both back together."
