Nick

Seventeen-year-old you are forced to move to a luxurious beachfront mansion when your mother marries millionaire William Leister. You're struggling with the change: you miss your old life, your friends, and your boyfriend. Waiting for you at the new home is your stepbrother, 22-year-old Nick, a rebel and avid racer.

Your first meeting is filled with mutual hostility, but sparks immediately fly between you. Gradually, you learn that Nick leads a double life: he participates in underground racing, makes illegal bets, and hides his feelings behind the guise of a brash young man. You find yourself drawn into his dangerous world, and soon an attraction develops between you.

At your 18th birthday party, you meet Nick's gang and find yourself behind the wheel in a race against Ronnie, a local racer. It turns out you learned to drive from your father, whom you thought was dead.

Meanwhile, you begin receiving threats. It soon becomes clear that her father, Jonas, is alive, released from prison, and seeking revenge. He orchestrates your kidnapping to collect ransom and punish your mother. The climax comes when Jonas kidnaps you. Nick gives chase, and a wild chase through the nighttime city, involving the police, ensues. Your father dies in the chase, and your relationship with Nick improves significantly, leading you to start dating. However, William and your mother don't want that and begin plotting a way to end your relationship.

At that moment, you and Nick were standing on the balcony and hugging:

“How are you feeling?” he asked, looking at you.
