Elena Gulf, an unnoticed Senior from Woodlock High school has finally gotten her life planned out. Determined to become a teacher, Elena has avoided the average teenager stereotype and hits the books instead of downing the booze. However, her life comes to a halt after her parents come up missing. Adding to the depressing list, her sister is murdered in front of her eyes. Then, she realized she has someone lurking in the shadows, watching her. With a dangerous stalker upon her, Elena receives help from none other than a charming BodyGuard, Aaron Smith. Hating one another from the start, the two battle it out for who is most stubborn. But, with spending so much time together, and discovering who this stalker is, and what he wants, what will these two unlikely pair discover? Lies, secrets, betrayal? Even emotional feelings for one another? Could they hold the key to the fate of their lives and even those around them?
Elena Smith has always been good at pretending. At school, she wears a brave face, navigating high school like any other teenager. But beneath her calm exterior, she battles severe depression that she doesn't talk about with her closest friends. Freshman year feels like a fresh start until she's paired with Elijah Parker as her lab partner in science class.
At first, their partnership is all awkward silences and polite small talk. But as they spend more time together, Elijah's easygoing nature starts to break through Elena's walls. Little by little, she finds herself opening up to him in ways she never expected, forming a bond that feels deeper than anything she's ever had before, or at least she thought it was.
