"He was... he was something else. I wouldn't really know how to explain John. Nor what he meant to me. It was like drowning yet it was like having the big breath after being underwater for so long. It was like finding yourself and losing yourself all at once. It was intoxicating yet it was like the air I needed. Sometimes I wished he never happened, yet I don't know what I would be without him. He was my angel in disguise. And my love for him...it's like this roaring fire devouring the forest, consuming me in flames" - - 20 year old Lacely Garcias' life was anything but perfect, but to her, her messy life was something normal.

By some weird turn of fate, Any Peterson is now dating her former enemy, the ever so arrogant but oh-so-handsome bachelor William Maxwell. While every other girl would jump at the idea of having the richest man in the city as a boyfriend, Andy would rather opt-out - if only she had a choice.

Will William ever earn Andy's full trust? Even better, will this awkward relationship go into full bloom, or will the circumstances nip that little romance in the bud?
