Nina Clarence is a young naive girl suffocating in the skin her parents coaxed her to wear. Finally brave enough, she breaks away. Five months down the line a stranger crosses her path, and she finds herself thrust back into the life she has run away from. Time has a funny way of wearing a person down. And Nina's time is just about running out.

"I'm not so important. No one notices me at school or at work. I'm surprised that my boss remembers my name. Probably only remembers it because he signs my check every week. I've never been anyone's crush; never had a boyfriend." Asher Benson has never been complimented or had a full on conversation with a boy her age. She was raised by her loser of a father while her mom dropped out of her life when she was young. She just wants to go to college and go out on her own. That all changes when the heartthrob celebrity Grant Clarence swings into her life. "I remembered the time where I loved the idea of girls chasing me. I was eleven and my friend Chris and I would run down the street with my baby sister Abbey running after us." Grant Clarence has known fame for seven years and has mastered being the ladies man, but that was his reputation though. Secretly he's the biggest sweet-heart. He has to decide though. Will he keep his reputation and live in fame and fortune or will he discard it all for the girl he fell in love with at David's Bridal? Will Asher let him in? Or will she let the hurt and abandonment of her mother keep her from seeing that she truly needs Grant as much as Grant needs her?
