She saw through his walls. He feared she'd see too much. ... "Why did you come all this way just to see him?" He asks me with a low voice, hinting at his frustration. "I didn't," I reply in a hurry. "I came to see you," my words come out rushed, not having the time to review them before I speak. His frown weakens as his features soften in surprise. "I..." he hesitates, his eyes darting across the room and finally landing on mine. "You shouldn't have. I'm not worth coming all this way." "And what if I don't care?" I say without thinking, regretting my words right after. ... Ariana wasn't looking for anyone, and he was hoping no one would look for him. She is an ambitious girl who dedicates most of her time to her studies. The growing pressure around her, especially from her father, forces her to pay no attention to anything other than her grades.

It was faint at first, like the flicker of a candle in the wind, but it grew stronger with every stolen glance. A ray of hope pierced the gloom, warming the cold, empty chambers of his heart. For the first time in what felt like an eternity, he dared to believe in the possibility of something more. She wasn't just a person-she was a promise of light in his endless night.

So she assumes a new identity as Bailey Rivers and focuses on her studies and lying low in the city that never sleeps. Her plans to keep a low profile are derailed quickly when she meets Xander Matthews- a cocky, infuriating, and undeniably attractive bad boy who seems too interested in finding out what's behind her cold, guarded demeanor. Although Ruth loathes him, she cannot help but be drawn to the inexplicable intensity in his eyes. But trusting people is not an option for her.
