Spencer Anderson's father was murdered when she was 15 years old, leaving her with just her mother and her little sister Anna, and with a number of dangerous questions. After his brutal death, things were never the same. Her mum would just sit on a chair in the living room and just stare into space for hours, in deep depression, which left her to look after her little sister, the cooking, cleaning and paying the bills. Spencer barely had time to fit school into her schedule. But two years later, her mum found a way slightly out of her depression and married a man. He seemed lovely at first until the wedding was over. He turned violent and began abusing poor Spencer and Anna, whilst their mum did nothing to stop it. Spencer tries to stay strong for her sisters sake, but is on the edge of giving up. Then, all of a sudden she hears a knock on the door, opens it and finds that everything in her life starts to change from that moment. Spending time with the rougish Ryan Soyer, changes everything for Spencer and her little sister. Until she realizes that he is holding dark and entirely impossible secrets from her, ones that make everything in the world seem like a lie, and ones that can bring enemies coming at either side. Darker secrets than her own. Let's just say, some secrets are better left in the dark. She feels herself quickly falling for Ryan, although she is having a tough time knowing whether it's love or attraction she feels for him, especially when things starts to get a little 'hot and heavy' between them. Without even knowing it, Ryan is beginning to mend all the pain, loss and the broken heart that Spencer has been holding onto. Can he cure her of her pain? Or is she lost forever?
