“you are like the blissful smell of fresh coffee on a Monday morning” - 16 year old Rayla Evans was the town’s Golden Girl, being the mayor’s daughter. Her days consisted of parties, interviews, snobbish balding men and their pretentious wives. When she stepped into the local café at two in the morning, she was not expecting to stumble upon Derrick Nolan, the outcast. Or at least that is what the townspeople know him as.

Aaron ends up turning Riley's entire life upside-down, inside-out, and maybe even right-side up, whether she likes it or not.

It was pity that first made Dannie speak to him. She had known Ryan since she was a kid, but he had always been the popular Golden Boy, and she had always been the tomboy that didn’t mind not having any friends. It was odd, she had thought, that all the popular kids who had once kissed the ground he walked on, didn’t so much spared him a glance anymore, and it was this that made her sit with him that one faithful day and begin something that would only end up causing her pain.
