Kacey can swallow the constant disapproval from her born-again aunt Darla over her self-destructive lifestyle; she can stop herself from going kick-boxer crazy on Uncle Raymond when he loses the girls college funds at a blackjack table. She just needs to keep it together until Livie is no longer a minor and then they can get the hell out of Grand Rapids Michigan.But when Uncle Raymond slides into bed next to Livie one night Kacey decides its time to run. Armed with two bus tickets and dreams of living near the coast Kacey and Livie start their new lives in a Miami apartment complex complete with a grumpy landlord a pervert upstairs and a neighbor with a stage name perfectly matched to her chosen profession.

But sexy Trent finds a way into her numb heart reigniting her ability to love again. She starts to believe that maybe she can leave the past where it belongs and start over. Maybe shes not beyond repair.But Kacey isnt the only one whos broken. Seemingly perfect Trent has an unforgiveable past of his own; one that when discovered will shatter Kaceys newly constructed life and send her back into suffocating darkness.
