"Let me explain." He begged from beside me. 

"There's no need to." I slowly got up, not bothering to look at his face. He would only try to break down my resolve with those eyes of his. 

"But you left-" His voice cracked. 

I still refused to look as I felt him make his way towards me. "I refused to sit around and be a pawn in your game."

A pair of strong arms wrapped themselves around my waist before I could make my escape, sending shivers down my spine. "You're not a game to me." 

"Let me go, Julian." 

His breath hit my cheek as he spoke. "That's something I'll never do, Lace." He molded his body to the back of mine, making me gasp. "You're mine."

***

One day. One day is all it takes for her life to fall apart. Her mom dies in a tragic car accident along with a mysterious boy who saves Lacey's life. 

And one phone call is all it takes to start piecing it back together.

Lacy Lewis may be the epitome of pandemonium, but she has an eye for fashion. One that gets this humble, yet snarky girl noticed by one of the hottest fashion agents, Veronica Price. Her talent also lands her a summer internship in Australia that leads to her very own clothing line... among other things.

Julian Sanders is the bad-boy every man wants to be and every women lusts after. His occupation as a world renowned model makes him known to all. During Lacey's summer in his home town, something happened between the two of them. Something that she tries to leave in her hind sight, but this bad boy refuses to let her.

He is arrogance, she is humility. He's a mystery and she's an open book. The two are polar opposites, with conflicting pasts. When their paths cross again, Julian decides to take fate into his own hands. Will he wrong his rights or will he leave Lacey more broken then when he found her?
