Chloe Brown is a chronically ill computer geek with a goal, a plan, and a list. After almostbut not quitedying, shes come up with seven directives to help her Get a Life, and shes already completed the first: finally moving out of her glamorous familys mansion. The next items?

Enjoy a drunken night out.

Ride a motorbike.

Go camping.

Have meaningless but thoroughly enjoyable sex.

Travel the world with nothing but hand luggage.

And... do something bad.

But it's not easy being bad, even when you've written out step-by-step guidelines. What Chloe needs is a teacher, and she knows just the man for the job: Redford 'Red' Morgan.

With tattoos and a motorbike, Red is the perfect helper in her mission to rebel, but as they spend more time together, Chloe realises there's much more to him than his tough exterior implies. Soon she's left wanting more from him than she ever expected . . . maybe there's more to life than her list ever imagined?
