New Description "Hey Rose, someone is here for you! I'll be out for the night, but if you need anything, call!" Lissa said. I as I come out of my bedroom, as I see Malachi standing in my living room. Shocked to see he's standing in my living room. "Why are you here?" I ask, not knowing what to do. "Well, hello to you too," he said smugly. So apparently, me running out on him wasn't enough yesterday. So now he has to be here where I can't run but listen. Listen to the person who tricked me. The person who hid, but I guess it was my fault who didn't see the signs but still hurts. Frozen in my spot, I watch him as he moves closer. "Oh, my, my Rose, wait because we are alone together at last. And I can't wait until you scream my name," Malachi said while walking to me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Roselyn "Rose" Sentry is a 23-year-old IT technical analysis for Moretti Corporation.

By email, of course, what else what you do when some random person keeps emailing you? You message them back because you keep getting told that you're boring and have no life. Malachi Moretti is the 26-year-old CEO of Moretti Corporation and playboy with pride who accidentally misspells an email address, and it goes to the wrong person but doesn't notice right away. What do you expect when you have a company to run and while maintaining a life. So what does this arrogant man do?

This isn't a deep book about first loves or self-discovery. If you want a book like that, I'd be happy to recommend one, but I don't have that kind of story to tell. Instead my story is about rash decisions and finding out that your dream guy is bad in bed. It's the story of when I finally went skinny dipping, and how my life was never the same again. Oh, and it's also the story of my freshman year of college and realizing Mr. Right might have been there all along.
