Lyanna Amberle McCoy has a reputation. One she loathes, especially because of the associations it brings to mind. The Bad Boy's Whore is what her classmates call her, because she listens to everything that Carver Jacob Vaughn says. Obedient. Docile. She believes that she can't fight back, and that doing so is wrong. But when a horrible tragedy occurs, she is forced to take a stand for herself, because she couldn't when it truly mattered. And she paid. But she won't be vulnerable anymore. Not to Carver. Not to the mysterious new guy who seems to have interest in her, or the popular girl in the grade above her, who befriends her on a whim. Not even to herself. No, Lyanna won't be vulnerable anymore. To anyone.
