Or will Lizzie be forced to do everything she can in order to save Brandon from Matt's sick, psychopathic ways? "It was then that I realized there really was no point in trying to fight him anymore, because just like on the football field, he would always win. I would never beat him, the only thing I could do was try to give him what he wanted; and just hope that it was enough to keep everyone I cared about safe. I promised myself that night, that I would do everything I could, to protect the people I love the most..." \\Trigger Warning\\ This book is not suitable for readers under 18.

Just when you think it couldn't possibly get any darker... Matt: I'm a manipulator, I'm a sociopath, I'm a rapist. Problem is? I don't remember any of it. Everyone in town looks at me like I'm the most disgusting man in the world, except for her. Lucky for me...she's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my life. Lizzie's keeping something from me though, and I need to find out what it is. Something tells me that I'll lose her, if I remember everything and become myself again. I wish there was a way I could get all of my memories back, become myself again...and be able to keep her too... Lizzie: Almost three years have gone by. Three years since my heart was ripped out of my chest. Three years since I've seen the two men responsible for destroying me. I'm dealing with it and picking up all the broken pieces of my life as best as I can. Then, the opportunity for payback and revenge walks right through my door. Do I take it? Hell yes. Everything is going according to plan...until my own head and heart get in the way. I still need my revenge though, and I'll stop at nothing to get it. That's when I realize I made the biggest mistake of all...a mistake just like Brandon's. Brandon: I made the biggest mistake of my life. I deserve to serve my time. I hurt and destroyed the woman I love the most in this world. Prison's the easy part. Not being able to see or talk to Lizzie...That's the worst sentence of all. Or so I thought...until she tears my heart out and serves it to me on a dark and cold platter. My road to redemption isn't an easy one...and I soon realize there are worse things in the world than Lizzie breaking my heart. It's the words: “She's missing. He took her...” Warning: This is the final installment in the series and it is by far the darkest book in the series. Please proceed with caution!
