Tempest and Gin ✘JJ Maybank✘

The gold is gone, but Elma's problems are just beginning.
With her dad in police custody and her mom once again AWOL and refusing to pay for legal council, Elma and Ms. Lana struggle to get through the trial with a court appointed lawyer.
Although Ward has been arrested with his own trial pending, Rafe is still on the loose and a constant threat to Elma's safety.
A shocking revelation from Kie rocks the Pogue friendship and a new face joins the ranks.
JJ's dad is back for and for blood (and money) as the restitution still hands over their heads.
And, to top it all off, school is just around the corner and rapidly approaching.
At the end of her rope, Elma finds herself juggling friends, family, rivals, and enemies as she struggles to keep her wits about her and do the one thing she's always done; protect Kid.
