Penelope Sawyer is living out her dream. Her name in lights, covers of magazines and newspapers, awards. Everything Fame has to offer is now right in the palm of her hands. 

After 8 years of hard work, determination and an otherwise nonexistent social life, Penny manages to grab 2 quick nights back to her home town for the annual high school reunion. A night of drinks, gossip and old friends she desperately needs to reconnect with before she's back to her world of chaos. 

Everything is going to her easy to follow plan, until in walks a heart throb dressed in his perfect suit and old feelings quickly resurface. 

Nolan West has spent the last decade building his career. Carving his business into the major success it now is. Work obsessed, he allows himself very few nights off a year. Arkvale High's yearly reunion is one of them, though he mainly spends the night seeking out new business prospects. 

One foot into the room, Nolan notices something is off. He takes a glance around and settles on the culprit. A brand new face and for the first time ever, all eyes are on the brilliant blonde staring right back at him. 

One wild, crazy night later, Nolan wakes up alone. The only evidence his perfect woman ever existed is the scratches on his skin from her finger nails and her necklace in his hand. 

Will Nolan ever get the answer to the questions he now has or will Penny's secrets forever keep them at at arms length?
