Book IV of the UNC Series
Carter Blake has a bone-deep hatred for the world-and especially for the people in it. All he wants is to keep his head down, focus on school and basketball, and avoid the mess of human connection. After enduring years of pain at the hands of his alcoholic mother, he's determined to cut ties with her and her endless web of lies. But the past isn't content to stay buried, and the universe seems intent on collecting on debts he's been trying to forget.
Addison Kelton has always been called a bitch, long before her best friend's death hardened her even further. Now, her walls are sky-high, and she's determined to keep everyone out. She drowns her invisible scars in ink, pouring everything into her art and the future she promised her best friend she'd fight for. Nothing else matters-not her overbearing stepfather and certainly not the memories that refuse to stay in the past.
