Blair Collins is a spunky 19-year-old who desires to follow her wildest dreams and live life to the fullest, alongside her best friend, Delaney. After deciding to leave her town in Ohio for big-city Chicago, she expects to continue her normal life that consists of partying, influencing and modeling, and one-night stands--that is until she meets hot-shot club owner, Niall Horan.
Turns out Ohio wouldn't be the only thing that would be bad for her.

"No!" she shouts. "Just stop. You want to know why I'm so upset? I'm upset because I care about you so fucking much, Niall. I don't want to. Honestly, it would've been easier if you were dead, because then there would be no possible way for me to keep coming back to you. But you aren't, and I don't want you to be. That's why I'm mad. I'm upset and angry because I could've easily lost you, and I'm not ready for that. I don't think I ever will be, and it fucking terrifies me, because I know one day I will. One day you'll be gone forever." Multiple tears stream down her face as her voice cracks. She tries to compose herself by pacing her breaths and remaining silent.
Unsure about what to do, I rush up to her and pull her into my chest. "I'm right here. I didn't mean for you to see that. This is exactly what I was scared about," I lowly whisper.
"What?" she sniffles as I sigh. "Us caring about each other. I'm dragging you into my treacherous world and I can't. You're too pure, too angelic," I feel myself become overwhelmed by my emotions.
"What are you saying," she pulls away from me. "No," she shakes her head as I feel my heart slowly breaking.
"Blair, I don't know if I can be in your life anymore."
"You don't get to make this decision for me," she hisses at me. "It's my life and I get to do whatever I want."
This hurts so fucking bad and I have no idea why.

Excerpt from Chapter Two:
“Staring is rude, baby. “ Niall teased when he slid his eyes over to watch Lilliana staring at him.
“I cannot help it that you are so damn sexy. You make me want to do naughty things to you.” Lilliana replied with a giggle, definitely drunk.
“Baby, you have a loose tongue when you drink. I’ll make sure to always have liquor around.” Niall winked as he helped the fumbling brunette into his passenger seat.
Excerpt from Chapter 10:
“Sabella? Is that you?” Niall asked tentatively his voice soft and shaking.
The brunette whirled around and her hazel eyes widened. She hadn’t expected Niall or the others for some time but here they were right in front of her. Her breathing stopped and her heart clenched at the sight of Niall. He looked the same, delicious, but also wiser. He was looking at her with his heart in his eyes.
“Niall.” Was the only thing she could utter before running to him.
Niall opened his arms and lifted Sabella up with ease. She was always so responsive and physically needy and he loved it. The brunette wrapped her lithe legs around Niall’s slim hips and smothered her face in his throat.
