Hailey McClair's used to playing second. Second to her brother's moods. Second to her sister's dramatics.
Still, she has a knack for charm, a habit of control, and a perfectly practiced smile. She tries to forget, to keep things light, pretend she has her shit together - and for the most part she hides it pretty well.

But Cook's never been fooled by her. Not really.

He's the kind of boy she's spent her whole life avoiding. Loud. Reckless. Impossible. Beautiful in all the wrong ways. And worst of all, he's her brother's best friend.

Cook's trouble. Freddie's trying to keep her safe. And Hailey's just trying to make sense of the noise.
When you've spent years watching everyone else fall apart, maybe chaos starts to look a little like comfort.
