Learning to navigate the real world with only her sister by her side, she's made the most out of what she has. But between her string of failed relationships and busy day job, she's resigned to being the forever single sister.
Just when her life has reached a steady plateau, someone from her past reappears and throws everything off track. A deviously handsome, brooding man who she only knows as Blondie.
As much as she tries avoiding Blondie, something is lurking in his past and she's the only one who can help. Suddenly, Skylar's life is much more than vanilla.
Will Blondie choose his past over Skylar, or will he let the past consume him?
