She was just a maid in the palace. The only reason she worked at the palace was that she was paid handsomely. She took care of the cleaning and scrubbing, but when an assassin approaches her, and they grow feelings for one another, she'll realize that someone of high power wants her too.

Scarlett Jones' greatest ambition has always been to go to college and become a writer. But coming from a family who struggles economically, can put a few obstacles in the way of making her dreams come true. A scholarship-that is offered only your senior year of high school- requires her to show them a reported story about something major in their school. And what isn't bigger than their school's all star quarterback, Austin Moore? Writing this kind of story doesn't come easy, though. Austin comes from one of the most wealthiest families in their town and isn't ashamed to flaunt it. He's snobby, selfish, and self absorbed. Scarlett doesn't let that get in her way, though. The more she pushes to get a story out of him, she just might discover feelings for him that she has never felt for anyone else before. But, will Austin feel the same way? Will he finally get off of his almighty Trojan horse for her? Or will he continue to treat her the same way he has always treated people like her?
