Paisley Thornberry, 18 years old and in college, working towards her career even though she may not know exactly what she's doing yet. Her persona is this bright, cheerful, smart girl with no issues at school but behind closed doors, she is the unhappiest girl you will ever meet. She is not close with her parents, not one bit. Her mother never believes a word she says and her father beats her nearly every other night, leaving her trapped in her own mind but having to put on a front when she's with her friends. Will this nightmare ever end or will she be stuck forever.

Alexander Cole, the one guy that every girl can't keep their eyes off of. He is the cliche 'bad boy' who only seems to care about himself but everyone has their difficulties. Him and paisley have never met before, that is until he joins her class and gets paired with her to catch up on all the work he has missed. Without a doubt he hates her from the moment he meets her but will that all change when he notices his heart beating faster every time they talk.
