Grace Sterling hates people. Period. And prefers to be by herself. When circumstances force her to go back home to the smallest town on the Island of Celea, she finally moves into the house she inherited some time ago. In the town of Sunville everyone knows everyone, and it is one of the first things Grace hates about the town. And then there's Alexandro Caldera.

But as she spends more and more time with the people of Sunville she realizes that maybe being alone is not something she actually wants.

And now he has to leave it in the hands of Grace Sterling, who hides behind mean words. But Alex can see right through her horrid behavior, and he makes it his mission to make her realize that not everyone is bad. And that maybe, all she needs is a bit of love.
