The moment he sees her, he's a goner. No other woman has grabbed his attention in so long that it scares him. There is just something about Madison that draws him to her that he can't seem to pinpoint. So Maxon sets out on a mission to get closer to Madison and explore their chemistry. Except Madison doesn't seem to care. About him. About anything. Or anyone. But Maxon is relentless. He didn't get to where he was by giving up easily, so he decides to be patient.

Or will she leave? Forgetting about him like everyone else.
