You could say Ella Stille has had a fairly easy life. After all, why shouldn't she? Why wouldn't she? Ella has it all: money, looks, and the grades to get into her dream college of Sarah Lawrence. Along with all that, even comes a bonus that every high school girl dreams of: popularity that comes in hand with Luke Cranford, the most popular guy in the school.
However, everything Ella has - her popularity, her boyfriend, her dream college - is jeopardized when Ella's past comes back to haunt her in the form of Jason Delamere.
It wouldn't be so bad if Ella hadn't been caught doing something she definitely shouldn't have been, and it wouldn't have been so bad if Jason Delamere hadn't seen her.
But she had been caught, and it was Jason Delamere who saw her. And now, Ella must pay the price of a secret.
