Louis Tomlinson: The most prestigious student at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Harry Styles: Heir of the founder and owner of Styles Vineyard, a winery for the stars worth billions.
Louis has an art exhibition which many artists from all over the world will be attending. Specifically, his idol since he was a young boy, Victor Pierre Rousseau, a french painter who has his own exhibit in the Louvre, and is a co-owner of the Musée d'Orsay, another famous art museum in France. If Louis impresses him, he could offer to show one of his pieces in one of the many museums he's affiliated with. The main piece at his exhibition is a sculpture of a collapsed man with wings, a fallen angel if you will, along with various other sculptures and vases. Since so many important people are going to be present, the hosting company is inviting the owner and founder of Styles Vineyards, Desmond Styles, who will bring beverages for the guests. Desmond is bringing his son, Harry Styles, so that he can prepare for the day he takes over the business. Harry has zero interest in joining the business, better yet taking over, so this invitation would mean nothing to him if it wasn't for his interest in the arts. His whole life is planned out for him. But everything changes when he locks eyes with the most alluring man in the room. His every feature is absolutely exquisite, from his stunning cheekbones, to his piercing blue eyes.

"Do you feel safe with him?" the question seemed silly; in my head I had immediately laughed at it because it was so absurd. How could I not feel safe with Niall? He had turned out to be the only constant in my crazy life so far; he was always there for me through out everything. He did everything that he possibly could to help me to get to the point that I was at then.
Instead of going on a rant about how much I did, in fact, feel safe with Niall, I nodded and said, "I always feel safe with him."

Navaeh is not your average teenager. Sure, she's a few months away from being eighteen, and is having trouble getting a better grade then a C in Biology, but her troubles don't end there.
Niall is one fifth of the popular boy-band One Direction, and seems to be living the dream. A chance meeting brings the two together in a circumstance that leaves Niall afraid for Navaeh's safety. She harbors secrets about herself that only her and one other person know and when Niall becomes determined to break down her walls, things get complicated. A relationship is hard enough to keep as it is but when you add an unmistakably cruel family problem it gets harder.
