Meet Honor Taylor. She grew up being the town sluts daughter. She fought so long, and so hard to be nothing like her. Then one mistake, one little decision, which change her life forever. Now she's known as the town slut. She's tormented, and she tries so hard to forget, but her peers try so hard for her not to forget. Then comes, the new boy Denver Gray. He's dark, he's mysterious, he dangerous, and he's a player. Despite the fact Denver knows, he doesn't seem to care, something about her captivates him. He doesn't care about what anyone thinks, or says about how he feels. Maybe because he has a past too, maybe even darker then Honors. But when these two get together it will be crazy, it will be wild, it will be epic, and beautiful, toxic.
