"Jurors, we thank you for attending today's trial. The verdict of Courtroom case: 52327 of Rossalyn Elizabeth Richards has been found..." I bit my lip as the judge spoke of what lied in my future, "Not guilty."
After Rossalyn Richards' best friend, Lyndsey, is brutally killed a car accident in a drunk driving car accident, everyone, even her own parents, in the city knows her as Rossalyn "Murderer" Richards, no thanks to her father, Declan Richards. The Mayor. In an attempt to escape from the pitying and wrathful glares and to start over new, Rossalyn finds herself in Avalon California, but not as Rossalyn Richards. She now calls herself Baliey Reed, a nobody with no past. But what Bailey doesn't know is that she'll meet the love of her life, Kale, through a mistake. Through many pranks, arguments, and some pretty intense make-out sessions, she discovers herself falling deeper and deeper in love Kale. She realizes she can't imagine her world without him, but will Kale fit into Rossalyn Richards' world as well as Bailey Reed's?
As Dallas and Drayton navigate life in the spotlight, Spencer is navigating intense feelings for Nathan - her best friend's brother.
