Sloan Sawyer’s family began to dissolve the day her father died. Fifteen then, Sloan turned to her mother for comfort, and was turned away. Now, at eighteen, a senior in high school, Sloan is alone and playing the role of guardian for her fifteen-year-old younger sister, who appears to be hell bent on ruining her own life.
Along with trying to save her sister from herself, Sloan is working day and night to get into a prestigious art program, while working out twice a day to try and clinch a state title in swimming—the same state title that her mother won when she was Sloan’s age.
When an incident at school brings her into contact with the new kid, who also
happens to be the principal’s son, Sloan finds herself beginning one more relationship that she isn’t sure she knows how to handle.
Grady knows he can't handle a relationship...and still, he can't keep himself away from Sloan. Since that first day he's been drawn to her, and even though he knows their relationship can't go anywhere, he can't seem to stop himself from needing Sloan.
Yet, even with his feelings growing, Grady knows he can't share his past with her. He won't. So when Sloan confronts him about it, he has no choice but to leave her, even if that means leaving a part of himself with her.
