Needing an escape from her past, Avery chooses a college where no one knows her. Her plan was to not stand out, but not to fall in love with the stunning fraternity member Jace. However, she can't deny how alive she feels when he's around. Even her common sense begs her to stay away, but her body begs to be closer. Jace, insensitive to his own family drama, becomes bored with a weekend filled with nameless girls and countless bottles of booze when he meets Avery. Helping her, dealing with her past is better than dealing with the crap his life brings. Encouraging her to chase away the painful secret she's been guarding, he appoints himself her personal growth coach and challenges her with new experiences. Being close to her and being one of the people who makes her smile is just a bonus. But when Avery's past brazenly returns, refusing to be forgotten, can Jace live with the truth about the girl he fell in love with?
