The city that raised her is the one that broke her.

Andrea has always felt unlovable. Abandoned and left to fend for herself, she moved to L.A. to start over. It didn't matter that she was fifteen, homeless, and pregnant. She'd figure it out like she'd been doing her whole life: alone.

The adoptions were final, but love had already ruined her.

Now at the end of herself, she'll do whatever it takes to keep the heroin alive in her veins and the guns out of her face-even if that means selling her body to a pimp.

Then one man with a winged tattoo and a rough past to go with it offers her freedom in the form of a single-stemmed rose. For the first time, Andrea starts to imagine a different life for herself. She wants to believe someone with her past is worth saving even though it seems impossible.
