Andy is a pretty and headstrong college freshman moonlighting as a car mechanic at her uncle's auto repair shop. Trae is a rich and handsome computer whiz, whose only fault is his defiant and rebellious nature. Well, which angsty and hormonally-imbalanced teenager isn't? Like Andy, Trae attends the Robertson Valley State College, and it has somewhat earned him a celebrity status. (It's not everyday you see someone like that walk the paths of mere mortals like Andy.) Why? Because Trae is one-third of the heirs to the family-owned Harvey-Clark College, a school for the moneyed and elite. Harvey and Clark are his two brothers - only Clark, the youngest of them, passed away when they were just kids. So technically, that makes him half of it if only his father doesn't hate him so much. The intentional omission of his name from his father's legacy drives gossip-mongers wild - and still haunts him to this day. Tortured by his dark past and banished by his family, he tries to seek meaning to his life and his place in the world. Andy finds herself on a collision course with Trae that started from a minor fender-bender involving her crappy dirt bike and his shiny red sports car. Unknown to them, their lives first collided when they were just little kids.
