Cecilia Maryn fell in love. That was her first mistake. The lovable Owen Gallagher: the jock, the golden boy, the picture perfect boyfriend.
Two years into their relationship, Cecilia can't escape. When Owen isn't smiling his perfect smile or charming the hearts of all the high school girls, he's making Cecilia's life a nightmare. He beats her. He screams at her. He owns her. With just one more year of high school left, Cecilia is looking forward to college when she can escape and never see him again. But until then it's mouth closed, eyes down, don't make him mad.
Enter Alistair Garlow: the opposite of golden. He lives for adventure and anything that could get him in trouble. He's an artist trying to get into the prestigious NYU, when he is suspended for vandalism. When their lives intersect, Cecilia knows Alistair suspects something, and she must do everything in her power to make sure nobody finds out.
