At twenty-two years old, Sutton Anstein is basically a walking corpse. Growing up with a helicopter mom and relentless high school bullies, Sutton adopted a way of being that has kept him safe and guarded, and consequently, sucked the life right out of him. Craving some adventure, he moves away from his family and takes up a new job that sets him right in the path of fate. Ariel. She is sultry, confident, free, and everything Sutton is not. All he knows about her is her stage name, and the mystery surrounding his red-headed beauty turns him completely on his head and forces a spark into his numb life. That spark blazes through his mundane, day-to-day routine, and sets fire to it all as Sutton chases the woman he never knew he needed. There's something so intoxicating, so beautiful, and so world-bending about Ariel that Sutton is positive she is the One. To win her over, he will have to risk the pain and heartache that has kept him hidden for so long, and force him way, way out of his comfort zone. Relationships will be tried. Boundaries will be pushed. Hearts may break. But in an effort to reach his Happily Ever After, he has to try. Sutton has to live.
