When Calum Hood returns to America after living in Mexico for a year, he doesn’t want any part of the life his older brother, Zayn, has laid out for him at a high school in Colorado . Calum likes living his life on the edge and wants to carve his own path—just like Zayn did. Then he meets Kiara Westford. She doesn’t talk much and is completely intimidated by Calum’s wild ways. As they get to know one another, Calum assumes Kiara thinks she’s too good for him, and refuses to admit that she might be getting to him. But he soon realizes that being himself is exactly what Kiara needs right now.
