17-year-old Harper Evans feels as if she's finally found her place in Sierria- After moving countless times in the last few years, her father has promised for them to settle down, once and for all, no exceptions. But just when she thinks she can relax, everything starts to go wrong. Especially wrong with Alain Winters, a boy she unexpectedly meets on the first day of her senior year.
There are three things you should know about Alain Winters: One, he's very beautiful, two he's very smart, and three, he's very annoying.
These three traits become a nightmarish combination as his friendliness towards Harper treads on every nerve ending she has. And things get even worse as she becomes more and more indebted to him, from incidents ranging from over-the-top acts of kindness to a truly heroic rescue.
Then, a horrific tragedy occurs, shattering Harper's world. She tentatively accepts Alain's offer of staying at his parent's vacant apartment to recover, not knowing what else to do. The pending criminal investigation of the incident turns up with nothing except a higher body count, and Harper begins to realize that Alain is hiding something. When the truth is revealed, she doesn't know what to think.
When they are soon dragged into the world of criminal organizations, assassins, and a murderous plot to overthrow the government, Harper and Alain must trust each other to survive. But how can they trust each other if neither are who they claimed to be, and if the people from their pasts haunt their every step?
