Shaina Richmond

For Britta - Volume Two Shaina Richmond

After a life-changing weekend at the beach, Susie thinks she's found a love interest in Jerry, and a close friend in Elliot. But Jerry soon disappears, and Elliot is there to comfort her. Because her parents trust him, Elliot sneaks Susie away as often as possible to spoil her. She may feel like a misfit at school, but in private, she's his dream come true. His princess. He becomes her secret boyfriend, and promises to help her save money so she and her mom can leave her abusive father. Elliot gives her a part-time job, luring her in with the promise of freedom. As she clings to him for safety, Susie embarks upon a dangerous double life that eventually makes her feel like a prisoner.
