Odette "Yettie" Chandler is a journalist. As an American socialite, her father scolds on her workings with the press, especially of her new scoop: the Beaudelaire's Affair. Yettie travels to France where the family is located, and begins her workings to squeeze out enough information to get a big scoop--and for her vacation. But what she would never expect become a possible part time model, with her ex-boyfriend hounding her every move, a weird murder group threatening her life (only because she found some hit list in a cheeseburger), and above all else, finding love with the most insane and the opposite-of-her-every-move, man. Enter Embry: he's easily the hottest guy, like since ever. He's rich. He knows the rules just to break them. Every girl would kill to be near him, in his presence and he knows it. However, underneath his family past lies a deadly secret, and the one person who can find this out is this goody two shoes girl, who he, inevitably, tumbles head over heels in love with her. Only, of course, after he finds out that her ex-boyfriend literally proposed to her and she said yes.
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?
