I’ve spent my entire eighteen years fighting to survive.
My junky mom disappeared years ago, leaving me to fend for myself against my evil drug-dealing step-brother. I never met my father. I don’t even know his name. All I wanted to do was survive and graduate high school to get as far away from the Villas and this run-down trailer park as possible. I was doing that until he forced himself into my life and literally flipped my world upside down. He’s from the Valley where the richest of the rich live—a bully in every sense of the word. Everyone, including the teachers, bowed down to him and his rich friends who ruled the school. He was the guy every girl wanted—well, except for me. For as long as anyone can remember, it had always been the poor Southside Villa trash against the rich Northside Valley boys. No one knows when or how the war started, not that anyone cares. We were born enemies. But between trying to graduate and trying to survive, I didn’t have time to hate him until he decided his purpose in life was to destroy me. Well, until he realized someone else was hurting me…
