This is the second story in the South Side Boys series. You don't have to read the first story, DAMAGED, about Annabelle and Jaxson, to understand this story, but you will get introduced to the characters in this story and you can understand a bit more.
Tori is now the manager of the coffee shop, Perks, when Annabelle leaves to be with Jaxson. They are totally different girls. Tori is outspoken and not shy. She loves living in Chicago but when she has to go back to the small town in Wisconsin for her class reunion, she is dreading it. Tori and Kalum are always butting heads when their group of friends get together. She always bets him, and she always wins. She gets him to be her pretend boyfriend for her class reunion and things change between them.
Kalum has always played it loose, no relationships. He has a secret that he has been keeping from everyone because everyone could get hurt from it. When he gets pressured to do things he doesn't want to do, so he can stay out of jail, he tries to keep Tori out of the picture before she gets hurt because of him. He hates to keep her at arms length, but he must.
