Intro…
Peyton Sawyer grew up in Buffalo, New York. She was raised by two loving parents and had the best circle of friends possible. She was a strong willed child and wanted the most out of life. She'd never settle for what her parents told her was life and always looked for more. Peyton loved music and wanted to someday work in the music business. When she was 17 she worked at a local record store and pursued an internship that her boss told her about. She worked for the hottest label in New York and learned the ins and outs of the music business. Once Peyton learned enough about it her best friend took the money he earned and helped her start her own label.
Peyton's label is now the hottest record label in New York. She is on the fast track in life. She is 25 and had produced over 30 records. She works with only the best and only produces music that will touch someone's life. She is a hopeless romantic and always thought that a song should have meaning not just make money. She has strong convictions and she doesn't fall into the normal shit that is the music business. She is better than that and that's what made everyone hate her and love her. She never slept around or did anything sexual to get ahead in her world.
Peyton discovered at 15 she wasn't into guys. All her friends wanted to kiss boys and she wanted to kiss all her friends. She tried to hide it for years until her best friend, Lucas Scott, called her out on it. He found her diary and read about her desires and he wanted to help her out. They lived in a small town and she was scared but he made it ok.
Lucas and his younger brother Nathan were professional basketball players and both played for the New York Knicks. Lucas and Nathan came from an interesting situation. Their dad, Dan Scott, got two girls pregnant: one at the end of his senior year of high school, Lucas' mom, the other at the beginning of college. Karen didn't hesitate or think twice about raising her son and being a good mother. She loved Lucas from the moment she knew she was pregnant. Deb, Nathan's mother, didn't want to be a mom and she felt guilty about that but couldn't force herself to keep Nathan. Keith, Dan's brother, told Deb about Karen. When Deb was released from the hospital she left Nathan on Karen's doorstep with a note. Karen didn't bat an eye and took Nathan in raising him as her own. When the boys were three she married Keith and he has been their father ever since.
Haley grew up next to Peyton. She had 8 sisters and loved to escape to Peyton's because there was just Peyton there. Peyton and Haley met Lucas and Nathan in Kindergarten. Nathan pulled Peyton's hair and Haley beat him up. They were instant friends. As time went on Peyton and Lucas became closer and Haley and Nathan become closer. When the group was 18 and just graduating high school Nathan asked Haley to marry him. They've been happy ever since.
The gang was very successful in their lives and always busy. Peyton was a single mom trying to make her life work when she finally decides it's time for a nanny.
Brooke Davis is a struggling designer trying to make it in New York City. She grew up in money and was devastated when her parents cut her off when she came out of the closet. She hadn't talked to her mother or father since they threw her out of the house at 18. She was now 25 and had sold a few things here and there but nothing major. She needed money and in New York City there were only two ways to make lots of money: stripping and nannying. She tried stripping and couldn't take her clothes off no matter how bad she needed the money so she went to the most prestige firm and jumped through the hoops so she could be a nanny. She needed a job and she needed one fast.
Peyton and Brooke are both looking for something more in life… Both broken women… Both wanting to make since of their lives… What happens when they enter each other's lives? Will they both find what they are looking for?
