In a last-ditch effort, to get away from the pity stares of small-town life, Juliana Shaw ran 3,000 miles away to New York. Two years later, Juliana has created what she deems a stable life; go to class, go to work, don't think about her dead parents, and repeat. Up to her knees in homework and the countless hours of work a week, Juliana has little time to dwell on the past. Roman Kensington has done everything possible to be known by more than just his famous last name. Rebelling from the life his parents have created, Roman is running around with wild abandon. Between classes, boxing matches, going to the bars, and an endless number of flings, Roman has little time to worry about his future. Juliana is running from the past and Roman is running from the future, but can they run from love?
