Lockhart, resurfaces after seven years and ends up at her job, she's mostly lost on who he is or who the Lockhart family is.

Despite their differences, Maddison is having a hard time shaking him off. She has too much pride to admit to her feelings though. But time after time again, Sebastian appears back in her life, making it harder to fight off her attraction.
