"What are you left with, if you give up everything you think you know, for love?"
LYDIA YOUNG hates her life. She's rich, beautiful, and popular, and dates a future lord, but her only wish is to get as far away from it all as possible. And she would do everything and anything in her power to do so.
She's been admitted to a top university and is keeping everything in her life in check, preparing for moving away to Scotland and finally starting anew.
Until her best childhood friend, MARK CARTER returns from America and drops into her life like a grenade, about to explode. Devastatingly handsome, grown-up and shroud in mystery, he sucks her into a vortex of love, excitement, and secrets until Lydia is left stranded far, far away from her clearly laid out, preset path.
At least, she still has Mark.
Or so she thinks.
She can tell Mark is hiding something. She just doesn't know what yet.
When the grenade finally goes off and Mark's past and Lydia's present catch up with them, Lydia has only one question to ask herself: What are you left with, when you give up everything you think know, for love?

"Tell me. Why won't you tell me?" He asks and I look towards him slowly, "You didn't even talk to me until yesterday! I'm trying to make it so nobody notices me, Kingston. I don't need this." I say and he slowly turns my face towards him, closing my locker and pinning me up against it.
"What if I need you?" He asks and I roll my eyes.
"Nice one, Hamlet." I say, walking away from him.
One of the perks of being short, easily get away from tall people.
