Sixteen-year-old Isabella Laurent has always lived according to a plan she never made for herself. Born into one of the wealthiest families in Florence, Italy, Isabella has been raised to be graceful, intelligent, and obedient. Her parents have chosen her university, her future career, and even the boy they expect her to marry someday. Every decision has been made to protect the Laurent family name. Isabella has never complained. At least, not aloud. Everything changes when her father announces that their family will spend the summer in Seattle, where he intends to finalize a business partnership with the powerful Moretti family. Isabella expects an ordinary summer filled with expensive dinners, exhausting social events, and conversations about her future. Instead, she meets Julian Ramirez. Julian is seventeen, the son of Henry Ramirez. He’s a normal boy, takes care of his family, works around the house and fixes things and he’s quiet, sweet, loves to read but also a bit of a rebel around his areas. He's also one of those boys her father explicitly warns her about. Neither of them expects to fall in love.

*SCENE: Isabella is getting settled in her hotel. Her parents are busy doing their stupid business work so she decides to take a ride on a random old bike she finds on the alley by the hotel. She rides around and goes to the downtown areas of Seattle. It looks normal yet fun. Suddenly a huge truck backs out of a driveway and she rides into it and flips into the back of the truck. Julian hops out.
