Summary

Desiree Diamond just wanted to get through her life by working hard and getting involved in romantic nonsense. Life showed her the dark side of love and she swore to never let anyone so close. So when she met him, she hated him. He was rude, he was mean, and he was constantly making her life harder. However as it often is, some people are necessary to show you how brave you can really be. He was there to help her change, to make her feel loved, desired, cared for… He was her dirty little secret.

While life hasn't been kind to some people, Desiree chose not to let it bother her. As much as it was possible. Her life depended on the kindness of others so when she got her chance, she chose to be responsible only for herself, to not let anyone stand in her way or weigh her down.

It's not easy to be a strong, confident woman when you have ghosts of the past constantly lurking behind your shoulder. She is giving her best to be a few steps ahead but somehow they always come up to her, always corner her. So when she gets the chance to do something for herself, to heal, to be someone not like herself, she takes it.
