When Zola Romano stepped off the stage that night, she didn't expect her whole world to be turned upside down within a matter of hours. Her agenda merely consisted of a long conversation with her bandmates, a few stolen tears in the girls bathrooms when she realized her parents weren't going to come home, and a 3 a.m. bed time after helping her fifteen-year-old sister, Serena, plow her way through her neglected homework. But when Serena brings a man she thinks will solve all of Zola's problems to the theater that night, Zola's grief-ridden world becomes fear-stricken, but she can't tell a soul. Emmett Monroe only has to use a little bit of fear and a little bit of blackmail to get Zola right where he wants her, but it's not long before his true identity is uncovered.
