"A girl and a boy. That's how it usually starts out, right? This seems to be another of those stories, so that's where we'll start." Lily Edwards is a normal girl, in a quiet town, in a small school. With her mother a librarian and her father a police officer, she lives a fairly normal fifteen year old life. Jacob Noland is quite the contrary. His father's a scientist and his mother's a world-class artist, with more money in their pockets than they know what to do with. All his life, all he's ever known is extraordinary. He's used to having girls swoon at his name. When he moves to Lily's small town, he receives the attention he expects. Only one person doesn't care: Lily. In his interest to find out why, he learns to think like the normal people of the town. She appreciates that someone notices her. As they grow closer, both start to feel something more. But, as the year drags on, new revelations try to tear them apart, once and for all. Will it be another happy ending, or will it be a new ending to the fairytales we thought we once knew? This Is Where We Start is a traditional love story of how love is often found in the most unexpected of places between the most different of people.

A past tragedy has left Lily Holmes burdened with a devastating secret... Since the death of her twin sister, Lily can't bear to be touched. Not accidentally, not casually...and certainly not intimately. This makes it impossible for her to confess to her best friend Adam Roberts that she's in love with him. She can't give him the sort of relationship he needs, so she watches in silence while he plans his wedding with someone else. Enter Nikoli Kinkaid, the campus manwhore... Nikoli is a self-proclaimed connoisseur of women, and he wants to add Lily to his list of conquests, but she wants nothing to do with him-until he makes her an offer she can't refuse. He'll teach her to enjoy human contact again, giving her a chance to win over Adam, while Nikoli uses all his considerable charm to seduce her. But Lily raises the stakes... Lily loves cars. Her late father was a racer, and she grew up under the hood of a car and on the racetrack. Nikoli has a limited edition car she covets, so she informs him the terms of their deal also require he not sleep with anyone for six months. If he does, she'll win the car. If she surrenders and ends up in his bed, his beloved 'Cuda is his to keep. In an intricate dance of control and surrender, a reluctant friendship becomes something more. Lily begins to crave things she never believed she could, and Nikoli realizes there is more at stake than his reputation. If Lily overcomes her phobia, will she crave Adam's touch as she's starting to crave Nikoli's? Or will she only find pleasure from the touch of a semi-reformed manwhore?
