Distracted

Avery Kerrigean had a normal, mid-west existence; a mother and father who worked for a living to provide a modest home, a popular older sister who pretended she didn't exist but she was good at school, sports and friends. Until the night her father is killed in the line of duty the summer before she enters high school. The subsequent trial and acquittal of the perp sends Avery into herself even though three years later, she is still pulling straight A's, practically has a full-ride soccer scholarship in the bag, she has sworn off all but a few friends, no boyfriends, and zero social life as much as she can help it.

She begins running into a cute stranger just before her final year in this town begins. Turns out it's the son of the infamous defense attorney that acquitted her father's murderer, but Avery's already fallen, and her stunning soul mate has his own reasons for fighting everything his father has strived for him to be.
