After the incident in high school, Ashley Wilson has been avoiding the popular guys like the plague. It's until the day she sends a wrong email to her hot boss, Maxwell Delacroix, and shamefully reveals her secret crush on him. Granted, her next life agenda is how to deny the email and her feelings for him.

While having this chaotic situation with her boss, Ashley sinks deeper into a circle of resentment toward the popular guys, including her own sister's boyfriend. As a result, she is to blame for their break-up, and her relationship with her sister goes downhill from that point onward.

To complicate her life even more, Maxwell isn't easy to get rid of. The more she blocks herself from falling for him, the more he pushes his way through. And worse, he gives Ashley no choice but to revisit her greatest fear which has been buried for a decade.
