Blair thought she would never get over her broken past. West thought no one could ever see past his epic mistakes. For the first time Blair's given a piece of herself away, picks herself off the ground and moves forward. There's a light at the end of the tunnel and it has bad boy rock star written all over it. That's something she can work for. Something that makes her believe again. But West is a part of rock 'n' roll band, Affliction. Taking Blair on tour was his idea of heaven, but his time is in high demand and trying to be with her isn't working out as well as he'd hoped. For Blair, being on the road with one of the most notorious bands in rock is a new kind of messed up. One she's not sure is for her...even with West in her bed. Jake West has kick started her heart, but who will be the one to smash it apart? Or will their unexplainable attraction be strong enough to save them both?

Blair believes she's broken beyond repair. West believes he's beyond redemption. It doesn't stop either of them from fighting for what they want. Even if they have to go down kicking and screaming to get it. But there's one final hurdle before the finish line. West hasn't been entirely honest and when the past finally comes back to bite him in the ass, it's either going to be rainbows and fluffy kittens or total annihilation. If he wants to win Blair's love, he has to come clean. Not just to her...but the entire world. All the biggest mistakes are unintended, but this time it might ruin them forever.
