Senior year and still an outcast, eighteen year old Quinn Jackson and her twenty-seven year old brother had been living off pocket change and her brothers job at the local coffee shop for eleven years. Once her brother thought her grades were high enough, Quinn scored herself a job at a music store. With CDs, instruments, and her only true friend Evan working there, the shop is heaven on earth. Her passion for just listening and creating music has helped Quinn survive the worst times in life; most created by the bullies at school. Being bullied was a struggle and no one let her forget how she should have died in the fire, which killed her parents and younger sister, when she was seven. Unable to let anyone in, Quinn's love life is just an uphill battle, even though it only seems to have gone downhill since her last relationship. When someone falls for her will she let him slip away, or will she fall, too? Whatever her decision is, Niall Horan will only let the latter of the two happen. When the blond, Irish bloke from the world famous band, One Direction, decides that fate was the reason he met the beautiful brunette in a small-town music shop, he won't let Quinn go, no matter what excuse she makes while trying to make him leave her alone. But when the poor girl won't let him in, secrets are spilled and his love for Quinn only enhances, making it his priority to see her when ever he gets the chance. Even with this blue-eyed laddie, love can burn.
