Redemption

Its been over a year since my perfect life was destroyed within the burning confines of an SUV. With my parents gone, I find myself juggling work and college, just trying to make enough money to survive. And although its anything but true, I cant seem to escape my reputation as the girl who sleeps around. But I have a plan: keep my head down, go through the motions and get the hell out of my small town as soon as possible. Things are going as planneduntil the mysterious Ryder St. Clare shows up, saving my life like some modern-day knight in shining armor. Gorgeous, smart and athletic, he seems too good to be true. Maybe he is. From the moment I meet Ryder, I know he harbors secrets hes more than reluctant to share. Although I should be wary, I cant stop myself from wanting him, needing him, caring about him. Is Ryder St. Clare the answer to my dreams, or will dating him open a Pandoras box of pain better left buried in the past?
