Description
In the almost always frozen Virginia, Minnesota we find Emily Burnes a sweet sixteen year old girl who is tortured and lost in the world she calls home. After her father's death, her mother's remarriage, and the regular abuse she receives from her step-father, Edward, there really isn't much left of her sanity. That is until she meets Thomas Turrito. Thomas is the new kid in Emily's English class from Idaho. He is tall, handsome, and mysterious, trapping Emily in with his charms. Thomas has moved to Virginia to escape the monster, by the name of Omega, who is hunting him and Emily and to protect her and the future of their world. Thomas takes Emily back to her niche. He gives her confidence that she never knew existed, but at the same time she tries to hide how "ruined" she really is. This is a story of love and loss, joy and pain, family and monsters, questions and answers. Will Emily be able to clear the skeletons out of her closet? Will Thomas divulge Emily with his dark secrets? Will they be able to rebuild what Edward and Omega have destroyed? But the most important question of all is: "Do you Love me?"
