The day fifteen-year-old Claire meets sixteen-year-old Chris is like any other day. She’s been kicked out of yet another foster home. The moment she sees the piercing in his lip and the tattoos on his skin, she’s certain she won’t last long in this placement.
But she’s never been so happy to be so wrong.
With a patience she’s never known in her short, tumultuous life, musician Chris and his mother show Claire it’s possible to trust again. And when no one’s looking, Chris shows her it’s possible to feel safe and loved.
But Chris is her foster brother. If anyone finds out just how close they really are, Claire will be kicked out of the only home she’s ever known. Only, this soon becomes the least of her worries when Chris is offered the opportunity of a lifetime.
Claire quickly finds herself facing the most difficult decision of her life. She has to do the unthinkable. She has to do it for Chris.
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Cassia Leo loves her coffee, chocolate, and margaritas with salt. When she’s not writing, she spends way too much time watching old reruns of Friends and Sex and the City. When she’s not watching reruns, she’s usually enjoying the California sunshine or reading – sometimes both.
