V Odsbody goes home to Manchester, England for the holidays only to have his family subject him to an intervention for his addiction. To make matters worse, the members of his band, FlameSmith, are in collusion with his family to get him into rehab. With reluctance and a great deal of denial, he is admitted to the rehab center. Everyone is against him, but there's nothing new in that. He's a loner and always has been. Izzy Potts has nursed temperamental, spoiled, and addicted celebrities before, so she hardly blinks when she's assigned to the care of FlameSmith's front man. Never mind that she's a fan. Never mind that even emaciated and racked with the pain of withdrawals, V Odsbody is gorgeous. Despite her professional demeanor, Izzy has a nurturing and kind way that reaches V through his agony and soothes him to his soul. By the time he feels human again, she's won him. He's always lost interest in a woman once he's had her in his bed, and thanks to the diligence of gossip media, she knows it, too. They don't stand a chance.
