Bitter pasts often leave deep scars.
Amelia Marie Carter had always been the good girl that did everything her parents told her to. She had always been the ‘perfect’ daughter. Yet she had learned from her parents’ unsuccessful marriage that there were no such things as forever, promises, or happily-ever-afters. She had learned that all things break and that all things must come to an end. She had convinced herself that love was an illusion she didn’t need; especially since her father, an overprotective workaholic, won’t allow any guys to get near his one and only princess.
Cameron Clark is the typical school “bad boy”; charming, flirty and dangerous. He’s everything a girl could dream of and he lives the life every guy dreams of. He doesn’t care about anyone’s opinion except his own, prefers to be out of school and plays with girls’ heart as if it were a video game. He can easily have any girl he wants, well, except for one.
Their paths meet and Amelia learns something new; that there’s another side of life other than being what her family expects her to be, and that it’s possible for her to live that life. Her curiosity brings her closer to Cameron, as she’s interested in everything he’s willing to teach her. But they did say curiosity killed the cat. Will he just be trouble like every other guy she’s met, or will he be the only exception?

"He seemed like a puzzle to me, and I really liked solving puzzles. But somehow, I don't think that I would ever be able to solve this one." Amelia Heart, with her large smile and her infectious laugh, is what most people would think has the perfect life. They would watch as she went back to her beach house, as she went out of her way to stop and chat to her neighbours, as she would get the perfect grades. She was everything you wanted to be, and yet nobody had gotten close enough to her to understand her life in this small town at all. When her plans of leaving suddenly change, and she is forced to start attending the local school, her life takes a route that she hadn't accounted for. A new group of friends, a chance at a normal teenage life, even a potential love interest - things that Amelia had never even thought about happening after everything she'd been through. But happiness is only temporary in her life, and she knew that. It wasn't surprising to her when her past began to catch up with her present, it was simply a good thing that it had taken as long as it had. Things start happening in Amelia's life that simply don't make sense, even to her. They do say you should always keep an eye over your shoulder, especially when you know you're being hunted, but for Amelia, even an eye in every direction wouldn't be enough.
