"Why do you want to change me so much?"
"Sometimes change is the only way of letting yourself free."
===========================
When Dean Lockhart starts at Hazel's school, there is something about him that attracts her. Whether it is his bad boy looks, or jerkish behaviour, she doesn't know, but she does know that he is dangerous and falling for him would be even more so, not that she would ever let herself.
But when he takes an interest in her, can Hazel let herself believe that she could possibly deserve someone's love, or that she could love someone else?
And will Dean be able to fix someone as broken as Hazel, even though he is broken himself?

"Because I am the perfect housewife?" I asked arching an eyebrow. "No, because you are the perfect combination of smart, beautiful, and skillful." I blushed at that and I wanted to look away but one of his hands stopped me and turned my face towards him. "Get used to hearing compliments because you're going to hear them often in the future.
