Lady Catherine Howard is simply impossible. A prankster at heart, she enjoys mischief and fun, but as the daughter of the esteemed Duke of Norfolk, Catherine is doomed (in her eyes) to be engaged to one of the snobbish pricks on her father's list of possible suitors, ending all her time for amusement. Spunky and free-willed, Catherine refuses to allow herself to be reduced to a piece of meat to be fought over. Instead, she decides to take matters into her own hands, and eliminate each of these "honorable" suitors one by one. But soon, she will discover that life LOVES to throw curveballs, in the form of... well, let's just call it 'a challenge'. (Set in the year 1837)

"Are you really?" she asked, amusedly, humoring him
"Undoubtedly. I am, after all, of the highest caliber. You would have to be utterly daft to refuse me."

He fell into the pond with a splash.
Later, she was questioned by her father's advisor as to just how her last suitor could have possibly stormed into the tower, soaked to the bone, muttering about insipid, insane women and their penchant for extremely deadly shoes, to be escorted out by her mother. She simply laughed in reply and said that she could not possibly have pushed him in. She, an innocent girl! Suitor number 32 simply went mad, had a heat stroke and jumped into the pond! Or did he just find that little duck in the middle of the pond adorable? Hmmm. She would not know.
Two hours later, she was confined to her room, with two guards patrolling her doors. Needless to say, fabrication was not her forte. Nor, was sarcasm, really.
"In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you."

Allison Waters is a girl as simple as they come, atleast that's what she believed. And to be honest she did enjoy a simple life for the past two years. All she wanted to pass her senior year in peace and be happy in life.
What she wasn't expecting was to be back in town with a certain Greek God of a Devil acting more annoying than ever... Calling him tall dark and handsome would be the understatement of the century. He is the arrogant quarterback and one of the most popular guys in shcool. He is as I mention previously the reincarnation of the devil in his actions and a Greek God in the looks department, with startling blue eyes, a sinful body and gorgeous hair, who may at different times define the words Cocky and Adorable. Quite a contrast isn't it? Well that's who he is, or for that matter how we all are... a bit of both.
Ashton Fobes is Alli's bestfriend, well Ex-Bestfriend, he is also her arch nemisis, her sworn enemy, but he is also the only one who can make her push her limits and challenge her in ways she never thought possible.
Soon they were playing with Cupid's arrows trying to set up the unlikeliest couple imaginable, but what they seemed to have forgotten was Fate's wierd sense of humor and so it turned out while they were playing with Cupid's Arrows, he was aiming them at these two instead.
