After one tragic night, she realizes that her life had been full of regrets.

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?
