Bianca's never had it easy. Ever since her father died, she's always felt the need to help out as much as possible. Her priority in life is to graduate law school and get a good job to support her mother and sister. She works her evenings and weekends as a nanny to a Billionaire family, The Alberts. They have two children 6 year old Caleb and 3 year old Catherine. These kids fall for her heart of gold the night she walked in. She never had the time for love as she desperately tries to keep her head above the water but one night changes it all. ###### Lucas de la Martini is your stereotypical billionaire. Mansion, fast cars, women, good looks, charming eyes, a full wallet and much, much more. He doesn't work hard to get women and it never really lasts more than a night. I would love to say that there is a reason why he behaves like this, but in all honesty there really isn't. He's left feeling things he hasn't felt in forever. He only got to taste this fruit once and he wants more. But he couldn't have anymore even if he tried, because he didn't know where to find it.

He relived his past, fought his demons, and gave up on his own goals-all so he could help Madie Lenertz escape her abusive boyfriend. But now Bren has no choice but to find his dad so he can quit looking over his shoulder. So he can stop waiting to die. Because suddenly the only thing in the world that Bren Hadaway wants is a future. And he wants it with her.

But cutting ties becomes impossible when Beau and his friend, Nessa, are looking for one more roommate in their three-bedroom off-campus apartment. And Nessa-oblivious to their history-suggests the one person that Beau knows will kill him to live with: Collins Bryant. He should say no. He really should. But even with knowing she doesn't want him, Beau would do just about anything for Collins. Including giving her the open room in his apartment-because he knows she isn't going to find another one, not this close to the start of the college semester. But as Collins moves in and unpacks all her art supplies, all her secrets, Beau starts to wonder if maybe...maybe she wants him after all. And maybe getting the chance to be with her is enough to risk everything. Enough to tip the hidden scales, the ones he's been keeping underwraps.

As a member of the Oakland State football team, he instantly gets put on Nessa's no-way list.

But can Bren open Madie's eyes to the truth before it's too late? *** "Don't go back to being treated like you're not real." Madie's lips parted, and I couldn't read the expression on her face.
