They say money is what makes the world go round - but not for Alex Darkbloom, who doesn't care for the glitz and glamour his life and his family's lives lead. All Alex has ever dreamed about was to have a 'normal' life, doing 'normal' things, with 'normal' people. But there was one very 'normal' thing he craved for more than anything - someone who would love him for him, rather than just for his bank balance. Ava Perfect is a 21 year old single mother to her 3 year old daughter, Emma. Every day seemed repetitive to her - starting with the school run and then working in her parents' bakery to pay for the necessities in life. However, after a run in with a tall, mysterious brunette stranger who introduced himself as the eldest son of the legendary music producer Clark Darkbloom, at a nightclub she was dragged to by her awful step-sister who wanted to celebrate her engagement (but mainly rub it in Ava's face), Ava talked for hours until it ended with a reluctant goodbye into the night. Alex thought he'd never see her again, until a year later when he walked into 'Perfect Desserts' - a bakery cake shop, with his 4 year old little sister, Poppy. Many say a working class girl with a child would never be able to catch the attention of a dashing billionaire heartthrob as Alex was known as in the media, but both Ava and Alex were known to be rule breakers. Many indicators suggested they'd never be destined to work, but as it became more and more evident with every day that passed, Ava and Alex were actually more similar in ways people would never have guessed. Is it the true love that Alex has always dreamed of, or a perfect disaster in waiting? - Author's Note: This story is written with UK English grammar and spelling.

And quite frankly, you're crossing your limit with me and my patience with you. So from now on, as long as you're with me you'll do as I say.
