Prologue

Charlotte, a high-maintenance 17-year-old is used to having everything she wants falling right into her hands. With the typical hottie boyfriend and a filthy rich lifestyle, Charlie is living just about every girl's dream. But when her pink convertible breaks down in the middle of a desolate town, her life is turned upside down. She comes across a run down car repair shop while seeking help. Charlotte soon finds out that the place also doubles as a home for five boys, each with darker secrets than the next. Her nightmare gets worse when the boys, seeing a golden opportunity to make money, hold her for ransom, raising the price every week to pay off a dangerous debt. She is disgusted with their dirty lifestyle and crude humor, not realizing that her relationship with one of them is becoming stronger everyday. Zayn Malik, to be specific- the dark eyed one that was drawn to her from day one. Day by day, she learns more about the mysterious Zayn- his dark history and the people that taught him how to hate. Day by day, Charlotte Mays' once pitch perfect life becomes more and more threatened- with danger lurking around every corner.
