Book One. Christopher Madison is a self-proclaimed asshole with a troubled past. He has no sense of where his life is heading and not single soul to call a friend. He's a lonely soul, who uses sarcasm and carelessness as a defence mechanism until he meets Desirae Wiley; the girl who is too good for him, yet not good enough. The harder he falls for her, the more she sees him for who he truly is. As he fights for who he is and who he loves, his dark past, which he thought he'd escaped, comes back to haunt him.

"You're pretty, but I'm not into the female gender." He said, slowly, trying to get me to understand. "Wait, you're gay?" I asked him. Alyssa Gage is a girl that gets everything she wants. So what if she wants this hot guy that she literally just met? Oh, right, just one problem. He's gay, or maybe he's just saying that to get her off his back. But, what happens when she foolishly makes a bet with him? Will she get what she wants, or will it only end in a heartbreak?
