Her mother is a under-paid secretary and her father is totally out of the picture.

But then, she gets paired with Dean Lancaster, gorgeous, star quarterback, heir to a billion-dollar company for a Biology project. He's just the kind of person she's learned to hate, but soon she learns that Dean is not all that meets the eye. Then everything in her carefully-planned life changes. Becoming the one to find the body of the victim of a scandalous murder, Irene is soon swept into a world of lies and danger.
