You Only Live Once 1 — Elizabeth Nelson

At 18, Brooke is convinced she's an adult and free from her parents' overbearing grasp. She admits that she's spent her whole life being careful and is tired of it. So she heads off to college with her best friend and a new motto to live by -- you only live once. She's looking to have fun, take chances, not over think things, and wake up every morning with no regrets for how the day before ended. Nick Benson is a self proclaimed ladies' man. They want him just as much as he wants them. But he never sleeps with them more than once, and never brings them back to his room. He has no boundaries and an attitude that screams trouble. He admits that he likes to live life on the edge, exactly what Brooke is looking for. So when they meet by chance early in their freshman year of college, it looks like a match made in heaven. But things quickly take a turn for the worse when Brooke learns about Nick's dark side -- an obsession with fighting, taking drugs and sleeping around. Will she be able to take what he throws at her, or is she in over her head from the start? Will her best friend be able to shed some light on Brooke's newly destructive choices, or will their friendship take the biggest hit of all?
