"At the end of the day, it doesn't matter that you failed. What matters is that you got back up on your feet, and changed where you went wrong. As the saying goes, second time's the charm."

"Isn't it third time's the charm?"

"And why should you mess up twice before you get it right? Fail once, that's being human. Fail twice, now that's being an idiot."



Sierra Banks is a beautiful, rich young woman, born heir of a hotel empire. Living in the lap of luxury, she often took things for granted. With her wicked tendencies and arrogant manners, she's not hard to hate. But as though by fate she was given everything, fate was also the one to take it all away. After one tragic night, she realizes that her life had been full of regrets. 

Desperate for a second chance, she agrees to go on a quest to right her wrongs. The catch? She only has 50 days to complete it or she will face an eternal consequence. Oh, and the one person who can help her? Annoying playboy Connor Jameson, who appears to have a distinct dislike in drama queen heiresses. With a seemingly dysfunctional duo, and a natural talent for attracting trouble, can Sierra really get it right this time?

"So, let me get this straight. You stomped all over his paperwork?" She started. "Not intentionally, but yes," I confirmed it. "Threw a drink in his face?" She added. "Expensive red wine." I described. "Rammed into his car with yours deliberately?" she counted on her third finger. "Um...I'm not proud of that one," I said cringing. "And called him offensive names?" She ended the list and I winced. "Twice." I specified. "And you're still alive?" She blinked, looking genuinely surprised. "Geez, don't be dramatic or anything..." I frowned at her hyperbolic statement. "Maybe he's keeping you around to get revenge." She suggested. Possible. I wouldn't put it past him. "I didn't know alright!" I exclaimed. "Let's hope that excuse is acceptable.." She was merely amused.

My heart was pounding in my chest so hard that I thought it was going to rip out any minute now as I stared back at the man I thought I had once loved with all my heart. Pain burst through me. He still looked the same except his gorgeous blue eyes that once held a mischief glint in them now were dark and empty. "Jordan...Jordan Raine," Jason breathed, "all these years I've been searching for you and now here you are..." I gulped and tightened my grip on Ariel's small hand as he took in my features and then his eyes slowly travelled down to the little girl who was eating her ice-cream as if nothing was wrong. I needed to get out of here before this volcano erupts. "Look it was nice seeing you again Jason, but I've got somewhere to be-" I was cut off as arms wrapped around my waist and I was pulled back into a hard chest, "Baby, there is no chance I am letting you go this time, I've searched too hard and long for you." Jordan Raine's life was as normal as any university student's life could get until a man with blue piercing eyes comes waltzing into her life or more like classroom and turns her average life into a screaming roller coaster ride and then all of a sudden the rails are breaking and she's flying off head first into the ground. They say love only happens once but what if the first time was because fate was being a moody bitch on her period? Warning: Rated R for language and sexual content.
