Just not with sexy, moody Kade Maxwell. And yet...she’s drawn to him both as a person--a mysterious, yet kind person--and in a blind visceral way she’s never known before, not with her last boy friend, not even with hot quarterback Tyler, whose friendship with her has the cheerleaders sharpening their claws.Once Kade gets over the gun and the shiner (just a misunderstanding!), he doesn't want to let Lacey out of his sight. Because Kade has his own dark past.
