Mia Evian has to piece together the mystery of Zack Maddox, the bad boy whose life she saved, while simultaneously keeping her own crumbling life together before Zack ends up in trouble again - or worse yet, dead.
*****
This is a love story.
When Zack Maddox, a notorious bad boy, meets Mia Evian, a nobody with a disdain for arrogant pretty boys, the two teenagers' lives are thrown into chaos. Zack is a mystery Mia can't unravel, and as her family is torn apart by her father's infidelity, her newfound thrill-seeking attitude is the only thing keeping her head above water. As Mia's behaviour turns increasingly reckless, Zack becomes the lifeboat keeping her afloat. Mia thought she had a good grasp of the world, but she's beginning to realise the people around her are far more complex than she could have ever imagined. Worse still, she may not be the only one who needs a lifeboat.
This is a love story - just not the kind you might expect.

"Marek, don't do this. Keep your captainship. I'll tell the truth about what happened and we'll both be out of the deal." "But-" "I don't know what your doing, if you think this is going to win you attention or sympathy. Or maybe you are being a noble prat and doing as 'you should'. Plus, I don't mean anything to you. Never have, never will. So please, please, stop acting like I'm special. " "But you are." And then his voice cracked, and I cracked with it. ------------------------ She's sick of his arrogant ways, and the bragging. With her goal being to slap some sense into him, she makes a deal; they act like a couple in every sense of the word and the first one to fall in love? Loses.

Zoe Starr blends into the background. She has no desire to be popular, to be seen, to be in any sort of drama. She's pretty unnoticed. Pretty normal. With one best friend, she survives just fine. Zack fuller on the other hand? Everyone knows him. He looks like the typical trouble maker. Leather jacket, motorcycle, a smirk constantly dancing on his lips. He doesnt care much for rules but doesnt go looking for fights. He has his 4 best friends to keep him company, keep him entertained. What happens when Zoe Starr meets bad boy, Zack Fuller and gets thrown into a world of rowdy boys, life changing events and mixed feelings? When her not so bright past comes back and tries to split them apart? Will these two broken angels get a chance to finally work everything out and be okay again? I suck at descriptions (obviously) but maybe just give it a try? If you don't like it you can just.. you know...stop reading?Complete
