For years, Conrad Fisher believed his story had already been written - a story of first love, heartbreak, and letting go of the girl he thought he'd always want. After losing his mother and watching Belly choose his brother, Conrad buried himself in pre-med, determined to move forward and feel nothing at all. But everything changes the night he meets Valeriya Volkov. Sharp-witted, unapologetic, and impossibly beautiful, Valeriya is nothing like the girls Conrad has known - and she certainly isn't looking for love. What begins as a chance encounter between two strangers becomes something deeper, faster than either of them expects.
