Clarissa Morgenstern has been in a verbally-and occasionally physically-abusive relationship with her boyfriend, Sebastian Verlac, for over six months now. She's convinced that he is the way he is because he wants her to be better. As long as he loves her, it's alright. Right? But when the Lightwoods move into Clary's school, what happens when Jace is too smart to fall for the act?

Jace's life is a privileged one. With plenty of money, he's never wanted for anything. But money can't help how lonely he feels, with no one he can trust. When he finally finds someone that makes him think life can be about more than money, he finds it won't be all that easy to win her over. How could a boy who has used his looks to get by for his whole life win over a blind girl?
