Ember Price is just trying to getaway. Gabriel Stephens is carrying the weight of the world.

They met when she was just sixteen and had just started dancing for money. They couldn't have been any more different. She was from projects on the west side; him from an upper-class family. Gabriel thought about Ember almost every day for years - not knowing if he will ever see her again.

Years later when their paths cross they are now living separate lives. Dealing with separate issues. Ember lives with her now-boyfriend Grady and Gabe is married to Savannah, his long time girlfriend.

Both of their lives are in shambles. Can they help each other clean up the mess they call lives?

WARNING: R-RATED MATURE CONTENT Gabe stalks towards me, and I back away until my back hits his door. He puts both his hands up against the door trapping me. "Admit it Skylar, you feel something between us," he purrs. "N-no I don't," I lie. "Your lying," he calls me out. "And now that I know there's a chance, I'm not letting go of you that easy." "W-what is that supposed to mean?" "It means my baby brother better watch his back, cause he now has competition." "You're crazy," I look at him in disbelief. "Crazy for you," he breaths against my mouth. He catches me off guard by wrapping his hand around the back of my neck and pulls me into him, crashing his lips to mine. He tongue gets access to mine and he presses his body against me, making it harder for me to break free. No way, I'm not giving in this time. I push him off of me and slap him across the face. "Stay away from me!" I shout, and storm out of his bedroom. I run out the house, and thank god he doesn't follow me. Once I feel like I'm far enough I stop and take a breath. What the hell is happening? How could everything go so wrong and so upside down in just a couple of days. I came here for a distraction, to get away from my broken family; not to be stuck in some twisted telenovela. And the worst part . . .
