Mandy’s always taking care of everyone else, and even worse, she’s expected to… Everyone in her family is taking advantage her—a self-centered twin brother, an alcoholic and verbally abusive mother, a younger, autistic brother who depends on her, and her enabling father with a secret. Mandy never knew how unhappy she really was. Until she met Rob, the hot “deli-god” from the supermarket… The minute she locks gaze with his dreamy, blue eyes, she realizes that she’s been missing out on life. Even more shocking, he seems to like her too. He seems perfect in everyway, and it’s beginning to look like things might be different for once. But it’s getting harder to hide her fractured life from him, and he’s bound to find out how messed up her life really is. As more pieces of her life begin to fall apart, will Rob be willing to stick around? Or will her fractured life prove to be too much for him?

Mandy is battling a horrendous ordeal with her new therapist, her alcoholic mother, and her boyfriend, Rob. She's succeeding, yet still faces challenges with her brother, Bryan, who refuses to believe his best friend Jimmy tried to force himself on her. He blames Mandy for leading him on and won't even entertain Mandy's side of the story. Mandy's father isn't in touch with his dysfunctional family, either. He's still engaged in an affair, which he promised to end. To make matters worse, Jimmy, the last person Mandy wants to see, has been released on bail, and he seems to be making it his personal mission to be around her at all times.

Mandy is assembling the pieces of her shattered existence. Her life is finally moving forward and looking good. That is... until Chelsea comes for a visit. Worried that her sensual and flirtatious nature will interest Rob in her advances, Mandy fears losing the only good thing in her life. Can she salvage her happiness while protecting her mother from the secret her father keeps? And will Mandy be able to maintain her composure when letters from Jimmy start arriving?
