Summary
Seventeen-year-old Iris is an aspiring actress, so when Mick, a well-known visiting Aussie director, takes an interest in her, she’s flattered. He’s fourteen years older, attractive, smart and sexy -- nothing like her hapless ex-boyfriend, Tommy. But when Iris and… Mick start a secret relationship, she soon witnesses Mick’s darker side, and his temper frightens her. Before long, she becomes the target of his rage. Isolated and in pain, Iris struggles to continue going to school, where she is preparing for her role as Ophelia. When her family and friends begin to realize that something is terribly wrong, Iris defends her man, but she also takes the first tentative steps toward self-preservation. For senior high readers. 2013.
