There was love in my heart for a boy once before, and it was a love that consumed my entire being and blinded me from truth. It was a love that made me see things differently, that soon lifted a veil I didn't know was there once I saw his darkness. I'd been enchanted by him, and I'd fallen for him fast. But over time, it had withered away just as petals do. In place of love, a new feeling blazed away ? hatred.

Sometimes the bad-boy really is just a bad guy, and sometimes your best friend can be so much more than that.

Abby Henderson learned a thing or two from dating bad-boy Dennis Whitmore: always trust your gut, actions speak louder than words, never let your guard down. After realizing he's just a bad guy and ending things, she's determined to move on... but Dennis has other plans. While Abby struggles in dealing with her newfound feelings for her unavailable best friend Matt, she must also accept who she's become and rediscover who she wants to be... and she must fight to be unleashed from the one who's just dying to drag her back down with him.
