Neveah West was the definition of the perfect poster child. She made perfect scores on everything, she didn't get into trouble, she was friendly and responsible. She didn't do drugs or smoke cigarettes or drink alcoholic beverages. She had no experience with boys. She hadn't even had her first kiss or had a boy touch her.
But when her brother's best friend, Avery Keller, returns from Afghanistan, she finds herself wanting Avery more than she had ever wanted anything. But she knows that the temptations and feelings she feels is dangerous. And she also knows that she can't ever be with Avery because of him being her brother's best friend.
But on the night of Neveah's sixteenth birthday, Avery confesses to her that he loves her, and that he wants to be with her, no matter the consequences. And Neveah confesses that she likes him too. When passion and temptation mix, bad things can occur.
But good things can come from the bad, right?
