Nobody warns you when your life is about to change. And it sucks.

When Mom died, I didn't just have to deal with the grief—I also had to move and face a huge change. Despite being close to turning eighteen, I had to move in with my father.

The problem? My father is none other than the famous actor Braxton Scott… who, until just a few weeks ago, denied having a daughter and refused to meet me.

I've gone from living in a small town in New Mexico with Mom to moving into a mansion in Los Angeles—with an absent father I hate, an older brother who's practically a stranger, and a stupid bodyguard stuck to me 24/7.

Because Oliver King is a pain in the ass, even if his job is to protect me. As if anyone would actually care about my life!

Hi, I'm Novalee Torres.

And welcome to my new life.
