The first words Audrey McDonald remembers spoken to her? "If only she weren't so dang pretty." That sentence was thrown at her in every possible variation, until the last time she heard them. "He wouldn't have done it if she weren't so alluring!" They were bitterly spoken by her best friend, Molly, moments after rescuers found Audrey raped, beaten, and left for dead by Molly's father.
After an attempt on her own life, Audrey's parents send her to Woodlands to live with her aunt and uncle where they hope she can begin to heal. But Audrey knows she can't move on with her life looking the way she always has. Her transformation includes gorging on food until she almost doubles her normal weight, not washing her normally shiny blonde locks and using it as a shield to cover her unusually gorgeous turquoise green eyes.
Her disguise works, keeping all the of the students (even her support group The Sunday Lunchers) and most of the teachers at Woodlands High at bay. Even her aunt and uncle only speak to her when necessary.
That is until Brent Corban. The dark, mysterious new star of the Woodland's High football team not only knows who Audrey is, what she's gone through, and what she's done to herself in order to cope with life; he was one of the rescuers that found Audrey bloody and halfway to death.
Brent is relentless in his pursuit to help Audrey, but someone as flawless and accomplished as Brent couldn't ever be what someone as splintered and damaged as Audrey needs?
