Katherine Reynolds and Erik Jones couldn't be any more different. White/black, Upper class/lower class, sweet and innocent/dangerous and corrupt. Their lives should never cross paths. Their lives should be completely separate. They had no business knowing each other, other than the fact that they went to the same school. Even then, they had no correlations. They had no classes that were the same, they had no mutual friends, they had no reason to know each other. Somehow, their lives kept intertwining with one another and they found themselves slipping deeper and deeper into each other's life. Erik always thought that Katherine was nothing but a spoiled brat with a perfect life, but soon he found himself realizing that her life isn't as perfect as it seems. Katherine always thought that Erik was nothing more that the rumors that were spread about him: a dangerous guy with bad friends. Soon she realizes that he would do anything for his family, no matter what the cost. Can Katherine and Erik find a way to navigate their unlikely friendship or will they prove to be too different from each other. Will hate and intolerance win out or can love, acceptance, and understanding conquer all?
