Notorious for his impeccable charm, handsome demeanor, yet closed persona, Harry Styles had every girl wrapped around his finger. Except for Isabella.
Street and book smart, kind, gentle, and outgoing, Isabella Smith did not want to be engulfed in drama, especially boy related. Indeed, she enjoyed parties and meeting new people, but it was more of a hobby than way of life.
Her goal was to become successful, a lawyer in fact.
Harry Styles, a confused boy with an unknown future, logically does not fit into her equation of life. How can it?
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams?
