Natalie Howard is her father's biggest disappointment, and nothing will ever change that. She's come to terms with the fact that she's useful only for her face, but with a lifetime of dreams to one day open her own gallery, and get as far away from the town that haunts her every thought, she moves to an entirely different coastline, where her favourite sibling and only brother lives with the rest of his team. Her plan is to escape the memories that plague her, but she never thought that in doing so, the flirtatious banter she shares with her brother's best friend would blur into something much more. It's easy to forget the past when you're too busy falling in love with the future. Greyson Adams has been UCLA's golden boy ever since he was ordained captain of the Bruins. Unlike his teammates who relish in the everlasting popularity of being an elite member of the basketball squad, he avoids meaningless flings, his sole focus on leading the team to another crushing victory in the season. That is until he opens the door to an unparalleled beauty, in the form of his best friend's favourite (and little) sister. He tries his very best to ignore the growing attraction, reminding himself that she's untouchable, but with only a wall, and one person, separating the possibility of what could be, it's pretty difficult, especially when she's so easy to love.
