Different Kind of Peace

Mia doesn't look for passion in a relationship. She has been burnt too many times by people who were supposed to love and protect her. She doesn't need any unnecessary feelings getting in her way and messing with her mind and heart. If she doesn't care too much, she can't get hurt. Can she? She's sick and tired of people breaking her fragile heart over and over again. All she needs is the feeling of steadiness, control over her own life.
While starting a new life at college, away from her hometown, she's looking for someone who will be able to give her that peace she desperately needs. A nice guy who won't set her body on fire every time she looks at him, because she's not willing to burn.
She meets Jonathan Owen who seems to be exactly this kind of guy. He's neat, sweet and handsome as hell. But what's the most important is the fact that she doesn't feel the pull toward him. Her heart doesn't skip a beat when she sees him. And that's perfect. That's why he is safe. He's the boyfriend material she's looking for.
Unlike Carter Leighton. Their first (and second..) meeting doesn't go so well. He's an asshole to her, yet ,since she first laid her eyes on him, there isn't a single day she wouldn't be thinking about him. About his piercing, hypnotizing eyes. About his lean, ripped body. About how his T-shirt hugs his wide chest perfectly. And how much she wants to rip this T-shirt off of him. He awakens her inmost desires. Her body wants him. He is exactly what Mia is running from. To protect her heart, she has to stay away from him. Or else she will be screwed.
But you know what they say. Something may not be what you want, but it's exactly what you need.
