Loneliness, rage, revenge... all foreign feelings to Emma White until the night her world crashed down around her. She became nothing more than shattered pieces of her once flawless veneer. Her despair made her weak, and that weakness allowed bitterness to leak through the cracks. She became a monster, targeting the sweetest person she could find: Trinity Nixon.

Now, almost two years later, she's thrown into an opportunity she never thought she'd have. An opportunity that brings her face-to-face with her victim's brother.

As she fights to win the heart of the boy who despises her, she's forced to hide her demons. She disguises her chips and cracks in pinks, yellows, and oranges—all the colors of happiness. She paints on a smile, and an unusual sense of humor, so that the world will view her as bright and cheerful, when in reality she's breaking.

But she's completely unprepared for the acidic truth that melts away her façade, demolishing her shell, and awakening the Emma White buried deep inside.
