"I used to be addicted to coke. Not the drink kind either. I used to have friends and a family. I had everything... Until I didn't."
Avril Perry knows pain. She also knows that everything in life is a lie. Those who say they are going to be there no matter what? Lie. That boyfriend who promised you were it for him? Lie. Family no matter what? Biggest lie of them all.
When twenty-one-year-old Avril realizes that there's nothing left for her in her wild city, she takes the money she has hidden in her least favorite pair of shoes and leaves.
With no place in mind, she has no idea what she is searching for. She didn't know she was searching for him.
Ryan Romero was everything she needed to stay away from. With loving friends and a music career, he had everything she didn't. And she can't seem to stay away, no matter how much she needs to--not because of him, but because she will ruin it all.
