Rebecca Stone.
Who is she again? Just the girl who is going to take over her parent's multimillion dollar company, but you wouldn't know that if you looked at her. Rebecca is quiet, understated and seemingly nonexistent, but she is wicked smart and has the capability to take her parent's company to the next level.
Only problem is she doesn't want to. Rebecca wants to do so much more than that, but that is only a fantasy. With her parents constant physical and mental abuse trying to push her to be the best of the best and the deadliest business woman ever, her dreams are unobtainable and nothing she would ever dear speak of, nonetheless pursue.
Until she meets Mason Carter, her mysterious classmate, in a jail cell. He's ambitious, hot-headed, and believes in only living in the moment and of course, without any rules but his own. He is undeniably intrigued by her, knowing there is much more to her than what meets the eye.
To Rebecca everything seems possible with him, and after living a life full of rules, regulations, and expectations, his carefreeness brings out a new side of her. One that leads the two of them to an adventure of a lifetime. An adventure that takes them across the world: the only goal is to try to find themselves with the little time they have before it falls apart, and the only problem is Rebecca's parents and their attempts to do much worse than bring her home.
