Veronica Reeves is like every other boring teenager, she has a few close friends and she's secretly in love with her best friend, a part-time job, and a seemingly happy adoptive family, until one morning something traumatic changes her forever, and everything she had is now gone.
She becomes the kind of person she never expected to be, drinking, having sex with people she will never see again, and doing all kinds of drugs she can get her hands on.
Derek Forster is exactly what you think she needs, a loving and caring boy who sees himself in Veronica, he understands her because he has been in her place before but Veronica doesn't want to be saved by love. She isn't a damsel in distress. She is just a broken soul.
"Don't fall in love, Veronica, it's going to be the death of you."

Summer Westley and Ashton Banks have three things in common: they both attend the same culinary school, they both want to be the best, and they both drive each other completely crazy.
A determined spitfire of a girl and an arrogant devil of a boy, thrust into a storm brimming with conflict and craving right from the bitter beginning. Fighting each other, their hunger, and the ghosts that haunt their past and present, Summer and Ashton soon realize that pushing down emotions can only last for so long until they boil over.
And sour first impressions can leave the sweetest of aftertastes.
