Cosette Jeffreys needs a way out. After all, her brother found one, betraying her the most when he escaped without a word from the controlling lifestyle their father demanded. Even in Dad’s death, their family labored away inside the family restaurant, keeping his dream alive instead of chasing their own. But Cosette can’t waste away in the shadows of her parents anymore, and after some trials and errors, she finally finds her way out in the boy whose heart she broke when her own heart was in pieces. Charlie Goth never wanted a way out. He never wanted to be betrayed by his girlfriend and he never wanted to be forced out of his home after a betrayal by his father. He lost everything, including himself. Cosette barely recognizes him when she comes back into his life. The once sweet, nerdy boy full of light from her past now has a sour attitude to go along with his black clothing and tattoo-marked skin—and he’s not going to make her road to forgiveness easy. Cosette now has to fight her hardest to win back the boy she hurt, and to finally live the life she deserves. But betrayals have gone around, and she’s not the only one who has some making up to do. Can Cosette and Charlie both open themselves up to second chances or are some hurts too much to forgive?
