Allysha May's life was routine, and boring, aside from the fact that her mom was murdered two years earlier, and she never really got over it. She lived with her dad, who insisted on spoiling her, even though she felt that things in life should be earned, not just handed to you. She loved to spend time with her friends, work at the little diner in town, and cheerleading. Ally's life takes a sharp curve when she meets Logan Cole. Logan Cole is practically alone in the world. His dad died in a car accident, and his mom went and checked herself into the psych. ward, leaving Carson to fend for himself. He'd always dreamed of going to college, and the army was offering full scholarships for anyone who does a year term. He had two weeks until his term, when fate had him leave his empty house to the small town where his plane would be leaving from, and where he meets Ally. Do you believe in love at first sight? Neither did they.
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams?
