The Herondales and Fairchilds have always hated each other since anyone can remember. Clarissa Fairchild, a regular teenager girl, whose passion for the art is as big as her bad attitude, is forced to marry the Herondale's son, the arrogant Jace Herondale, to save a company none of them care about. Worst thing is...Clary and Jace can't keep their hands OFF each other's neck.

Clary's death was faked and she was kidnapped. Her memories were erased and replaced, and she believes she's someone she's not. Years later, she goes to the New York Institute with her "sister," and doesn't know why, but she's drawn to her sister's boyfriend, Jace. Jace has to deal with a girl who looks like Clary coming into his life, and slowly begins to fall for her.
