Rosalie Summers is a productivity junkie. Currently enrolled at King's University, she lives with her socialite brother on campus, and as of recently, his best friend. Tristan Hollows is a young, wealthy bachelor. With no family to spend occasions with, Tristan is invited to all of her family events. You'll never see him shed a tear, bare a smile, or talk about his feelings. No, Tristan is as cold as it gets. So, what the hell makes him so appealing? Rosalie has no clue; all she knows is that she can't enter another relationship that puts her in handcuffs. Metaphorical handcuffs, of course. Rosalie has seen and experienced toxic relationships all her life. Although that particularly dark time in her life is now long gone, she is terrified to fall into it again. As she learns that her desire might be reciprocated with Tristan, Rosalie will do anything and everything to steer clear of him. He's the only person who can make her drop down to her knees, and that scares her. Tristan is powerful in every way imaginable. He's controlling and isn't accustomed to hearing 'no' from anyone. Well, Tristan, meet your match.
