Emerson Watts didn't even want to go to the Stark Megastore opening in SoHo, but someone had to look after his younger sister, who's madly in love with a British pop star who was signing autographs there. Besides him, another very famous person was also in attendance: Nikki Howard, international supermodel, teen sensation, and face of Stark products. This, of course, is a recipe for disaster. Along with the beautiful and famous, a crowd turned out to witness the opening—and, among the ordinary people, some protesters decided to demonstrate their opposition to Stark's monopoly, which is destroying street commerce throughout the city. Among the protesters is Emerson Watts, nerd extraordinaire. How could she have known this moment would change her entire life forever? After a terrible accident, Em—no longer a prom queen—is no longer the same. Literally. Now, getting her best friend and secret crush to notice her as more than a friend is the least of her problems! But what Em refuses to accept may end up being the very thing that makes her dreams come true... Nikki Howard is here to stay.
