Abel 4 months and then I can leave. Abuela shipping me off to Hector is supposed to be for my own good after Mom died. But is it? Now I have to live with a father I’ve never known and his wife. At least I’ll have a good time making their lives a living hell. Until I saw her. With her baggy clothes, long hair, eyes the color of a storm, and her refusal to speak. Iris. Beautiful and silent. What secrets is she hiding? I can’t wait to break her. Ri My life has been a cycle of abuse for as long as I can remember. If I don’t talk, my secret can stay hidden. He will kill Mom if I tell. I want to not feel. Nobody sees me anyway. Except him. When Abel came to live with us, I could see the hate in his eyes. He wants to hurt me. Not speaking to him makes it worse. When the bullying turns to lust, it’s hard not to want him. Even if he hates me. Can I tell him my secret? Or will I finally end it all?
