-
Twenty year old Lennie St. James isn't expecting much from sophomore year at Verity Heights.
Another year of volleyball games, gigs and essays on literature greats. Another year of pining after a man who doesn't reciprocate her feelings.
The last thing she expected was to catch the attention of Caden Whitlock. The cold as ice, senior hockey captain.
The two reunite as a result of romance between their best friends, and small sparks of desire erupt into something else. Something dangerous, hot and uncontrollable.
But, when it comes to it, can two individuals from a troubled life truly ever piece each other back together?
And for how long can life-altering secrets really be kept in the dark?
