Crash Into Me

By day he’s just another kid trying to make his way through high school, but at night he becomes the only thing that stands between his drunken father’s fists and his mother’s fragile spirit. He can’t tell the police for fear that they’ll tear his family apart, and he can’t tell his friends for fear that they’ll step in and get themselves hurt.

So when the new girl stumbles onto the secret he’s kept close for years, he’ll do anything to keep her quiet – both for her sake and his own.


She just lost her mother and siblings to a car accident, and now social services are having trouble tracking down her long-absent father. To avoid forcing her to go into foster care, her California-based uncle steps in as her guardian and moves her halfway across the world to live with him and his sons.

She knows this is only temporary, and so she tells herself not to get comfortable – but then she meets the jade-eyed boy, and everything begins to change.
