At school, Hope is known as the baddest girl around. Every girl wanted to be her and every guy wanted to have her. She was bad and she knew it. Nothing-and no one- could stop her. Hope had every reason to love her life-however, she hated it. Her mother has been in a coma for the past 8 years because of her abusive boyfriend and her father died as one of the top dope dealers in their city. Ever since then, Hope has steered clear of the streets and wants nothing to do with anyone who's apart of it. So what happens when bad boy, Xavi, falls for Hope but can't seem to give up his thuggish ways? Can he abandon the streets so he can capture Hope's heart? Or will the two of them just be another pair of star-crossed lovers that were never meant to be?
