Most people are addicted to drugs, or alcohol, or sex. Damon Emerson found his addiction in a beautiful, quiet girl with a mysterious past.
Damon used to be a one-and-done kind of guy, never hooking up with a girl more than once. Not after what happened with Olivia. Being a rich, cocky, dark, tall, mysterious guy that every girl wants, Bo doesn't understand why he wants her.
Bethany Summers, a.k.a. Bo Freeman, is afraid to love again after her first love took everything away from her. She hates every man she sees, especially the one's who sleep around all the time.

Bo never knew you could get so addicted so someone you hated so much.
