And will she be the ride or die that stays by Rockys side?
Rocky's sister, Savannah Chanel Emerson shows back up in town after a year with news of her on for her family. Savannah had always been the shy girl, in her books, while her best friend, Treasure Pierce, was the wild one, but at 21 years old Savannah is completely different from the girl that her best friend and brother have known. Is it because of a fling from the past, Chancelor "Chance" Stevenson or is it just because she was never her true self to begin with?
