Colette James has a plan for her last year of high school: lay low and keep to herself. Already overwhelmed by being in an unfamiliar place, she doesn't want unwelcome expectations and judgments. With her hope of friends, dances, football games, and love demolished, her spark has been lost, buried under years of disappointment.
What happens when Rhodes Houston sets a long-forgotten flame alight in her soul? Is all hope truly lost?
Rhodes is stuck, stuck in a small town that never changes. All he wants is a life that has a color, that isn't as bleak and boring as this small town makes it. That is until Colette moves to town. He sees her for everything she is, under all the layers she built over the years, as she does for him. Suddenly, all he wants is to give her everything she's wanted but missed out on.
