Until a single night sends Evelyn and Ashton on a collision course that starts something neither of them can stop. With one struck match, their whole world goes up in flames. The only thing left to do is run - but leaving McNair Falls isn't as easy as just putting distance between here and there and some secrets refuse to stay left behind. A reckoning is coming . . . and not everyone is getting out alive.

Is winning really everything? High school senior Nell Becker certainly thinks so, especially if it means beating the richest, most infuriating, popular guy in school - Jackson Hart. When Jackson inexplicably starts flirting with her, Nell is sucked into a whirlwind romance with the guy she least expects, and the things that used to matter - like perfect scores and volleyball - fall by the wayside. Nell is letting go for the first time ever, and it feels good. Except Jackson is hiding an explosive secret, one that may prove their relationship was a game all along. This YA contemporary will keep readers glued to the page with Laurie Devore's signature blend of compulsive writing, edgy romance, and tough-as-nails characters.
