Amalia Romano has been putting her heart back together, piece by piece after her high school boyfriend broke it four years ago, when he left the city with his mother and little sister. Amalia thinks she'll never see him again until she does at her friends bachelorette party. Only she wakes up the next day in his bed, but disappears before he wakes up and spends the rest of the day ignoring him before the journey back home. But then things start coming back to her from their drunken night: laughs, jokes. Oh, and their walk down the aisle in a Las Vegas chapel before they were married by an Elvis impersonator. As soon as she realises that she's married to the boy who unknowingly broke her into a thousand pieces when he left, she wants to divorce him. But an opportunity comes up for her to advance her business, however it's a club strictly for married ladies. He agrees, but the real question is: will this fake marriage transform into a real one?

Amalia Romano is sixteen years old now. Still a dancing prodigy, she lands herself a photoshoot for a magazine that'll help her get to where she wants to be. It seems like everything's going perfectly fine. Her grades are booming, she has a nice circle of friends and her family adore her. She's content, happy and finally safe where she is. Nothing can go wrong. That's what she thinks until Archer King, the typical bad boy, enters her life--brown hair so dark it's almost black, almost always obscured by his motorcycle helmet. Tattoos he's definitely not allowed embedded into his skin, and a careless attitude that clashes with hers. After a messy mix up in school, she decides to ignore him.. until she gets assigned to work with him for a project that'll make up a large chunk of her final grade for the year. Not only does she have to put up with him, but she also has to hide him from her family, since he's the exact type she's always been warned away from. She also has to juggle more than one relationship in her already hectic life. [COVER BY @sugarhighstoned]
