At twenty-one, Olivia Martin has mastered the art of cynicism. Maybe it's because of her dysfunctional family--a needy, ex-model mother, a rich, ill-tempered father with an imperious new wife, and a spoiled half-sister. Olivia's modus operandi has been to ignore them all and just drift through life, tough and alone. Only that's not what fate has in store for her. When her father and his wife are killed in a car crash, Olivia is named guardian of her little half-sister, just as she has fallen in love for the first time. Suddenly saddled with a child and a home to run, Olivia discovers that she can't always run...and that maybe this time she doesn't want to.
