Alyssa Devereux was raised inside a world of pink perfection.
Designer heels lined her closets like art pieces. Fresh flowers waited in every room she entered. Her life was private jets, luxury galas, diamond bracelets, and pretending she had never once felt lonely.
To everyone else, she was impossible.
Too polished.
Too rich.
Too perfect.
But when her boyfriend of seven years suddenly breaks up with her at the end of university, Alyssa refuses to believe it's over.
Because Ethan Maxwell knew the real her.
And people who truly know you aren't supposed to leave.
Determined to win him back at any cost, Alyssa rents the spare room in his apartment without permission-throwing her pink suitcases into the messy home he shares with his best friend, Leon Ashford.
Leon is everything Alyssa hates.
Cold. Tattooed. Dangerous.
A biker boy with cigarette smoke in his lungs and anger in his bones.
And he hates everything Alyssa represents.
The luxury.
The perfection.
The fake smiles.
So when Alyssa's desperate attempts to get Ethan back begin ruining their lives, Leon offers her a deal:
He'll help her become the kind of girl Ethan could love again.
Normal.
Real.
Easy to stay with.
But somewhere between midnight motorcycle rides, shared cigarettes in the rain, ruined mascara, cheap convenience store dinners, and the warmth of a tiny apartment that slowly starts feeling like home...
Leon realizes he's falling for the girl he swore he could never stand.
And Alyssa begins to wonder if the love she spent years chasing was never truly the one meant for her at all.
Because maybe the boy who taught her how to be real...
was always the one who saw her most clearly.
