Publisher's Synopsis
Mateo's perfectly normal life was upended one fateful night when tragedy struck his family. After years of running the streets and fighting the temptations that would surely make him spiral out of control, he finds himself somewhere unexpected. At the gym, he isn't a troubled kid on the streets. He's a fighter. Elizabeth has never known normal; she's never known love. Born to parents who thought she was better off as an ashtray than a kid, she quickly learned that the only person she could ever trust was herself. When she was taken away from home and thrust into the system, she traded one form of torture for another. When their paths converge, Mateo thinks he's met the girl of his dreams, but Elizabeth's past rears its ugly head. Can two broken people find a way to overcome their challenges and find love in one another? Or will the skeletons in their closets tear them from each other's arms?
