In the adolescent madness, she finds a tattooed boy named Dakota. He’s ungodly tall and has crystal blue eyes that can sway any good girl to do bad things.
When they first meet, he makes it his job to show that he doesn’t like Silvia. And he’s got reasons.
All she has to do is disarm this bad boy and unlock the secrets he’s keeping deep inside. Before they know it, Silvia and Dakota embark on an emotional roller-coaster of a relationship that is bound to ruin a few lives.
But when Silvia’s own secrets come knocking on her door, will it tear them apart or will love prevail?
