Erin hoped that her boarding school scholarship would be the new start she desperately needed. Instead, she found herself the enemy of the most powerful girl in school. Without a home to go back to, she has to figure out how to survive four years at Spellman-Hawk High School. Dodge Hawk's sister might hate the new, smart girl in school, but Dodge doesn't feel the same way. Regardless of what he does, though, the quiet girl won't look at him, less be his friend. Dodge needs her help desperately as his friend returns from treatment, struggling with both addiction and school work. Erin could be the answer to his prayers, if only she would speak to him. Liam Howe is torn apart by the family that holds his heart. He can't help his twin, a recovering addict; his father, fearful of losing his life's work; his mother, a suicide survivor; or Dodge, his brother by choice, who can't defy his own family to choose his future. With nothing more to give, he needs another partner to shoulder the load. Noah Howe lives in a world he can hardly stand or understand. Amidst the cacophony of a private high school, he fights to control his body and his mind. Why can't he live up to his father, his brother, or even himself? One suicide attempt behind him, Noah hopes he can move forward. But how can he do it without overwhelming his beloved twin? While the first book in this series contains very little explicit sexual content, later books do.

Poverty-stricken Erin might be the strongest fifteen-year-old to ever survive her snobby boarding school, but she needs her friends to fulfill her mental, emotional, and physical needs.

One of those problems is her passionate feelings, which also extend to Noah’s roommates. Can he have a fulfilling relationship with a girl he can’t claim as his alone? In this installment, book two of the Spellman-Hawk High School quartet, their family learns how to rely on each other to begin pulling together their pieces. less
