From The Publisher:
One night and one decision was all it took for my world to be flipped upside down.
Vance Preston was my best friend. We did everything together, and I swore he hung the moon. One fateful night changed all of that, though. I made a choice and thought I was doing the right thing, but I was wrong.
Even worse? Vance promises to show me just how mistaken I was.
Once my best friend, now my bully-my tormentor-and my new stepbrother.
Stuck in a home with him with no way out, he swears to break me.
Only he doesn't realize you can't break something that's already broken.
