And lead us not into temptation, they said. She fell into temptation nonetheless. Well, actually, Angel fell in love with her own temptation: Lucifer. But she is not very interested in being freed from this evil; she wants temptation. She wants to fall out of desire. She wants to sin. She wants to be sucked in by the dark and impassive look that always conquers her. They warned her. And he knew it too. They could not fall into temptation. They could not want each other. But Lucifer wanted her. The problem is that loving each other seemed like paradise, but it could become a real purgatory. USED TO BE: THE DEVIL'S LOVE

"What does it feel like to be a heartless bitch?" "Cold." . . . Everyone loves Katherine Hartley - or at least, they love the illusion. Katherine reigns both on campus and at the elite ballet academy founded and owned by her father. She's every warning wrapped in silk. Elegance carved in ice, she's a girl raised to be disciplined, untouchable and most of all; perfect - a swan sculpted by years of brutal training and emotional isolation. Love was never meant for her. Especially not the kind that lingers - obsessive, aching... wrong. Especially not from the boy she's known since childhood. He's the one who sees through her mask, sees everything she tries to hide. And for the first time, Katherine starts to wonder what it would be like to fall - even if it ruins everything. He knows loving her may ruin him. But letting her go would destroy him. He's everything she can't want. And the only thing that makes her feel alive. She's the only thing he wants, but can't have.

His family is overbearingly supportive, his older brothers are successful, and his parents have never thrown him out, despite years of putting up with his theft and addiction. Out of rehab and trying his hand at a normal life, Parker gets a position as a janitor over at the local elementary school. It's not much but it at least pays for an apartment so he doesn't have to bum off his parents or his best friends, the Carter-Lewis family, any more. That is until he meets Summer, the young, perky pre-school teacher. Like her name implies, Summer is practically walking sunshine. And for some reason, interested in Parker and his life story. Trying his best to keep his head down and get the job done, he finds himself enjoying Summer's flirty comments and seductive looks. At least his job just got a whole lot more interesting. Behind the scenes, Summer's life isn't all cupcakes and rainbows, either. Despite her colorful personality in her classroom, she's still suffering from a bad breakup and a nosy family. When she meets Parker, Summer is having trouble remembering who she is and what she wants in life. Being with him helps her to remember. As the two get closer and battle their demons, Parker and Summer realize what it is that they've been missing all this time. A love like this. But is love enough when everything else threatens to tear them apart?
