Danielle is a 27 year old girl whose best friend is the one and only, Kellin Quinn. When driving back from camping in the Sierra Nevadas, a little detour is made and she winds up meeting the guy she's been crazy about for years; Vic Fuentes. Will her and Vic ever be a thing? Or will she just become a one night stand?

College student Cara Sanders has lived a tough life but keeps her head up all the same. One night at a bar, Cara and Vic Fuentes meet on unlikely terms. Vic is immediately interested in this girl, but Cara isn't so sure. She hasn't let a boy near her since the incident with her alcoholic of a father. Now, falling for Vic in ways she couldn't imagine, she is faced with her worst fear: her abusive father has been released from prison, and is looking for her and her mother. Not only had the man scarred her for life, but he has threatened her with much more than just abuse this time. Vic, on the other hand, swears to Cara he will protect her with his life.

"He is the most bi-polar and blunt guy with that annoying sarcastic wit of his, I've ever met!" What she thinks of him. "She is the most annoying brat I've ever met in my whole life, who just doesn't know how to mind her own Goddamn business!" What he thinks of her. Two different people hating each other's guts after their very unexpected, unusual first meeting, despite the fact that they're neighbour's. She hates him. He hates her too, or that's what they both think. She's careless, fun spirited, party animal girl. He's serious, blunt, never cares about anyone's feelings and knows exactly what he's doing with his words and actions. She's a girl who checks out guys, but never falls for their charms. He tries his best to avoid any type of interaction with girls - that is until Alexandria comes along. She learned long time ago not to ever trust anyone wholeheartedly; especially a guy and a certain blue eyed one was the cause for it - no one knows what happened between then, except for a certain someone - almost a stranger. Never mind others, he didn't trust himself. She doesn't have a very interesting past. He has a very dark past, which he's not very content to share with. So despite all the differences, what really brings them together? Because, the only thing that is in common between them would probably be the fact that her-not-so-interesting-past, and his oh-so-dark-past-which-he-never-likes-to-share-with-anyone, somehow connects. And that was all that needed for, whatever relationship they had, to go down the hill.
