Then her less than imperfect father takes her from her cozy home in North Carolina to his noisy inhabitable home in New York city with her half siblings and step mother. Serenity begins to adjust to her new home with help from Asher the boy that lives under her, and who she has unexplained feelings for, and her best friend Kassandra. She begins to walk through life knowing that just when you think it's the end of your story you begin to learn it's only the beginning. All that's left to wonder is will life remain this perfect forever? Then in 1955 just as her life seemed to be going perfectly things feel apart in a matter of hours.

In which I fall in love with my brother's best friend. ***** "Don't pretend like you don't feel anything." His voice is low, sending shivers down my spine. "What do you mean?" "You know damn well what I mean." "I don't know what you're talking about." I pretend to ignore him, flipping some pages in my book. "Come on. I have all these assignments waiting. Aren't you supposed to teach me tonight?" "It depends on what you want me to teach." He smirks, his voice sounding even more dangerous. ***** I thought that my brother was the most popular guy in school, but as soon as I step into my university life, I realize how wrong I was. Meet Vaughn Cooper, his best friend. The guy is the epitome of every girl's dream. Godlike handsome. The quarterback. He's got the looks, and he's got the brain. Come on, he's got the scholarship to one of the most prestigious universities in the country, while I have just barely passed the entrance examination after long years of struggle during high school. How could a guy who worked that hard and deserves nothing more but adoration be labeled as a bad boy? Yeah, the answer is simple. The moment we lock eyes, I realize something as I stare into those piercing, amber eyes. He's not every girl's dream. He's every girl's nightmare. In my case, MY nightmare. Calm down, heart.
