Zoe Rivers is broken. Broken through and through. It is as if she'd be torn apart piece by piece, her beatings are getting worse her skin is becoming purple and swollen, she has no one to talk to, the teachers think of her as a shy, A* student and her fellow students think of her as a weirdo, a freak, a nothing. But when the stunning and kind hearted new English teacher, Mr King turns up to her school, he takes a liking to her, they begin to feel something between them, but there is one question, Should they pursue the love they know is forbidden?
