Being popular was all that mattered. Her parents were rich and treated like royalty throughout the community. She thought her senior year of high school was going perfectly, until the night her drink was spiked at a party by one of her so called friends. That was the night she met Chase McCree.

The cowboy wasn't like anyone she'd ever met. The cheerleader wasn't like anyone he'd ever met. Apart their lives didn't seem to make sense, but together, they were chasing forever.
