"Some secrets aren't worth telling. Trust me, I have my fair share of them, and for the sake of everyone, I plan on keeping them to myself. My past is my past, and it's going to stay that way."
****************************************************************************************
Emily Brazki's life mainly consists of cotillions, parties, rich (and, therefore, busy) parents, and complicated romance.
Although, to a stranger, her life may seem ideal and perfect, it is anything but.
After all, the cons always tag alongside the pros: ugly drama, fake friends, destructive secrets, scandalous lies, the occasional party, and tears. Lots of tears.
Add a hint of stress, a drizzle of bad history, a few teaspoons of intricate relationships, and a splatter of alcohol, and you've got the recipe for disaster.

"She can't come to the phone right now. I'll be happy to take a message for you."
My blood runs cold.
"Where is she? What have you done to her?"
He doesn't say anything and I don't hear her. I start to panic.
"Nothing, yet."
"If you touch her-"
"What Luke?!" He cuts me off. I bite my lip and pass my hand through my hair. "What could you possibly do to me that you haven't already done?!"
My eyes starts to water. This lunatic would hurt her and I knew he would.
"I beg you," I tell him. "I'll do anything you want. Just leave her be. I'll meet you wherever you want. Take me, please, just leave her out of this." I hear Jasmen crying.
"See, but where would all the fun be in that? I could smack you around, take away your fancy cars, and you'd be fine. But if I do this-"
I hear Jasmen screaming again. What the hell was he doing to her? I swore the minute I got the chance too, I was going to kill him.
"No, please stop! For fuck sake, please!!"
I felt helpless. I was letting her down in the biggest way.
"See what I mean. This beautiful doll is your Achilles heel man. And you won't like it, she won't like it, but I am going to enjoy this next part."
Having uprooted her entire life for love, Jasmen finds herself stuck in London with Heartbreak and penniless. She soon finds a job at a big company and falls for CEO, Lucas Bowers. After a whirlwind romance, the shades are pulled from her eyes. Can this new, awakening relationship survive Lucas past? Or will one or both lose their lives because of his lies and deceit?
