Book excerpt: One punch will shatter a town. Is anyone ready for the consequences of the truth? Callie Jones is not the kind of girl who gets drunk at school dances, and certainly not now, with her scholarship on the line. And she definitely doesn't hang around with bad boys like Rhett Barker. Especially alone, at night. But these are the circumstances she finds herself in when she witnesses a king hit that lands the town's golden boy in a coma. With his reputation, no one is less surprised than Rhett when he is accused of throwing the punch. But he didn't do it. And he knows Callie saw what really went down. He just has to convince the 'ice princess' to come forward and talk to the police - except, for once, good girl Callie doesn't seem all that interested in telling the truth. Just what is she hiding, and why? Drawn together by secrets, scandal and heartache, Callie and Rhett find themselves getting closer - even as the solution to their problems gets further away.
