Life is hard. We all know that. So does Valerie Wilson. Breaking up with her boyfriend, Zeke Wellington, quickly places her in the hands of Jared Winstin -- of course, through the help of her best friend, Cleo Morley. What starts off as a playful friendship will soon end in mixed feelings, painful emotions, and... hopefully, love. But not without some heartache first. Valerie tries her hardest not to give in, but the heart can be stubborn.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Valerie Wilson, a woman trying to find herself in this world, has lived a relatively dull life; mainly, because her previous boyfriends sucked, her home life was a mess, and her path in life is unclear. The only two people she could truly depend on are her two best friends, Cleo and Anthony. That is, of course, until she meets Jared.
Jared Winstin, the bad-boy-gone-good, has spent the last year completely transforming himself into a new man; someone he can be proud of. But that doesn't mean his closest friends, his old pals, or his enemies approve.
When the two fall in love, their connection is undeniable; the type of love people would die for. Will Jared and Valerie be able to prevail, or will Jared's past catch up to them, causing mishap and disaster?
