A dealer who's hopped from town to town. A football player with a bright future ahead of him. One bad deal, and it all goes away. Serena Blight never knew what it was like to be bathed in gold, to shine so bright she blinded the world. She blended into shadows, so no one noticed when she left one school for another, or slipped something from her sleeve. Conner Bison on the other hand couldn't do anything without drawing notice. The weight on his shoulders, the stress of the spotlight and his stepfather's hand was crushing. The other boys on the team drank, but it made Conner sick to even smell the stuff. But one day, fate dropped a solution in the form of Serena into the star quarterback's world. Little did he know she would become his. But for the first time in his life, this dream wouldn't be easy to acquire.
