Sienna is determined to become a journalist like her deceased grandfather and continue what he started. Sam Pepper is destined to work in his family’s booming business. They have nothing in common and once their paths cross there’s going to be an explosion.
Sam moves to Burton when his family started planning on building a new branch for their firm there. In Burton he gets in with the so called dangerous group where he finds the girl who hates change.
Sienna isn’t too enthusiastic about Sam invading what used to be a tight circle of friends.
But what happens when she likes the way he looks at the world? What would her grandfather say if she let go of someone who had such a mature point of view? What happens when he tries to get closer to her? Will she reveal secrets about her past or will she remain closed up inside herself?
When she gets the opportunity to write a column in a teen newspaper that deals with common problems teenagers face she jumps up at the opportunity but somehow she can’t come up with something to write about that seems mature enough.
She grudgingly approaches Sam to ask for advice and help on writing the perfect article. As they write the article they begin to see that there is more to the other than they ever expected to find.
They're like salt and pepper, they go together yet they are opposites. Which emotion will win in the end?
Follow them on a journey where they discover that letting someone help doesn't mean you can't do it on your own, it means giving others time to voice their opinion. And that you can't judge people by appearance or social status, you never know what they went through to be like that.
