Twenty-year-old Rachel West has dedicated her life to her one, big dream -- to become a respected journalist. 

Fresh out of university and over the moon to be starting her new job at a national newspaper, Rachel feels that her dream may soon be a reality. But when it becomes apparent her new employers aren't interested in hard hitting exposés, Rachel finds herself having to write about the one thing she knows nothing of -- relationships. 

Although largely sceptical and somewhat terrified of what she'll uncover, Rachel is determined to prove herself. So, with her small group of friends acting as guides, she embarks into the uncharted world of dating. And as her journey takes her deeper into the pursuits of love, Rachel starts to wonder if maybe she shouldn't have been so quick to judge.

[BOOK 1] "I won't leave" I whisper, and he smiles, "I know, baby" he says softly, and my lips tug upwards into a smile. "You're the exception" he continued, his tone tender as he pressed a short, sweet kiss to my forehead. I didn't know it then, but I started falling in love with Finn Brookes, we were each other's exceptions. * * * Lily Garcia didn't come to university looking for love-especially not with someone like Finn Brooks. He's charming, infuriating, and a walking complication she doesn't need. But no matter how hard she tries to keep her distance, there's something about him that feels like gravity, pulling her closer with every encounter. Beneath his cocky exterior, she senses the fractures he tries to hide-the same ones she's been running from her entire life. Finn's been through hell, and love isn't part of the plan. He's good at keeping his walls high, locking out anyone who might get too close. But then Lily shows up, and suddenly his carefully controlled life begins to unravel. She's everything he didn't know he was missing, and that scares him more than he's willing to admit. But with their pasts threatening to destroy what they could be, and old friends trying to drive a wedge between them, trust becomes their biggest hurdle. And when a new love interest steps into the picture, everything Lily and Finn thought they were building starts to fall apart. Fighting their demons was never supposed to include each other, but now they have to decide if the risk of heartbreak is worth the reward of finally letting someone in.
