"Maaf, Nayra. Saya terpaksa pecat awak." Perkataan pecat itu sudah 20 kali aku dengar. tak tau sebab mengapa dipecat. malang sungguh hidupku. Tak ada angin, tak ada ribut tiba-tiba muncul pula surat misteri di hadapan rumah. Katanya, tawaran pekerjaan menjadi pembantu rumah. Gaji yang ditawarkan sungguh mengejutkan. Sepuluh ribu ringgit sebulan! Tak terkata Nayra dibuatnya. "Saya Nayra, saya ada dapat surat tawaran kerja jadi housemaid tempoh hari. Saya cuma nak tahu kalau saya masih layak bekerja di sana?" "Oh, saya memang nantikan awak telefon. It's okay, I will call the driver. Dia akan jemput awak nanti." Pelik. Selalunya aku yang patut ke sana, tapi mereka yang menjemput aku serupa aku ni tetamu istimewa. "Just call me, Madam. Ini rumah Tuan Brayan. Dia tiada di rumah buat masa sekarang, so dia suruh saya carikan orang untuk jaga rumah ni. And, saya gembira bila awak terima tawaran tu." "Tuan Brayan ke mana?" "Awak tak perlu tahu tentang tu. Tugas awak cuma jaga rumah ni seperti nyawa awak." Jaga rumah macam jaga nyawa, tak ke seram bunyinya? Tapi aku cuma fikir pasal duit, apa pun yang berlaku aku perlu redha sahaja. Dan setelah bersetuju dan sign kontrak, Madam berikan aku satu kertas peraturan. 1. Tak boleh bawa lelaki masuk 2. Dilarang bawa masuk makanan dari luar 3. Sentiasa letakkan note di pintu jika mahu keluar 4. Jangan benarkan lelaki masuk rumah Fuh! ketat sungguh peraturannya. Patutlah gaji tinggi bukan main! Tapi ada sesuatu yang tak kena, mengapa peraturan nombor satu dan empat sama? mungkin tersalah tulis? "Don't always stand outside the house, I don't like other men looking at you."-MISTERI note itu dilekatkan pada kepala katil milikku. Tapi siapa yang letak? bukankah aku seorang sahaja di dalam rumah ini? "Madam, are you sure yang Tuan Brayan tak ada di sini?" Makin hari, makin rasa diperhatikan. Benarkah lelaki itu tiada di rumah? atau dia sebenarnya selalu ada disampingku? "how dare you break my rules, Nayra!"

Garrett Gray was the captain of Rowan University's hockey team, he was a girl magnet, he could have any girl at his feet with a flash of his smile. He was your typical cocky, humorous jock that everyone loved. Taylor Perez was a typical college student trying to pass her classes and make money to survive. She was a stubborn but also kind, beautiful, and well-grounded girl that no one could push down. Garrett and Taylor never passed paths or even looked at each other, till one particular day. The day the bet was made.

He lit his cigarette, I lit nothing. He drank alcohol, I drank water. He smirked, I smiled. He didn't love me, I didn't love him. He and I together wouldn't last a day. And then the game started... He said he found me intriguing, unique, and interesting because I didn't swoon over him. "You and me Grey, let's play a game. We'll date and in three months time I promise you will fall for me. When you fall in love with me between that time span, I win. If in any way you were to win I'll give up all the alcohol, cigarettes, and player ways." It was a game I wasn't willing to lose, but all games had accidents and consequences. It takes a broken heart to know how to break a heart.

Ashley Martin has been through more grief than a person experiences in their entire life and carries baggage that no kid should ever entail. Tyler Miller is the school's scandalous bad boy who acts on impulse, blinded rage and will single-handedly destroy anybody who stands in his way. Then all of a sudden, they're thrown together and despite their destructive past, they're forced to overcome their differences. It's time for Ashley to stop running away from his death glares, blank stares and that spine-chilling scowl that reminds her just how little he cares. Driven by a whirlwind of secrets, a class assignment and midnight walks into the past, things should start working out. But then fate kicks in; hard-hitting and soul-crushing. It's a fight-or-flight situation, a reincarnation of her past, a chance for him to right the wrongs he did by her. A second chance is like giving someone an extra bullet for their gun after they missed you the first time round. So here's Tyler's gun. Here's Ashley's heart. And here's to their second chance, however hopeless it may seem.
