After moving right before senior year, all Presley Donovan wants is to finish her high school career tucked away in the shadows of a new school. She’s worked hard to graduate with honors and has every intention of heading off to her dream school in the fall; however, thanks to a chance of fate, a pushy new best friend, and the underhanded workings of her mother, Presley’s plans are about to change.

On the outside he is the picture of high school royalty, but on the inside Brice hides a deep secret. Will the arrival of a new student threaten Brice’s existence, do Presley’s lifelong plans even stand a chance, or will their lives be drastically changed forever?
