Sable Marks never thought that five months after graduation she would still be in the same ocean-side town she grew up in. But five months ago Sable Marks' father wasn't dying, her mother wasn't sleeping with her hunk of an assistant (and lying about it), and her brother Nolan wasn't taking a face dive off a cliff. Then Sable meets Parker Nova, a cigarette smoking hard ass who just happens to be the son of the most notorious Lawyer in Hines Trail and decides maybe its her turn to act out and show her family just how 'fine' she really is. But Parker has other plans for Sable. Plans that include finding who the real Sable Marks is and, despite his best efforts not to, discover a bit about himself in the process. Five months ago, Sable Marks never thought she'd find solace in the shape of a troubled boy with dark blue eyes, but five months can change a person. {Spiritual #8 / Teen Fiction #212} *Contains swearing, mild violence and talk of abuse.*
