When Ryan met Emma, he knew she was way out of his league. The last thing he expected was to fall head over heels in love with her. Emma always felt out of place in her own school. Meeting Ryan, the boy from the other side of the tracks, opened her eyes to another world-a world that made her happy and made sense for once. That is, until her father became terminally ill, changing the course of Ryan and Emma's future together. They were once happy, now torn apart, but are the reasons valid or is someone else pulling the strings? **This is a Prequel to the Damaged Hearts Series**
