BLURB:
Seventeen-year-old Danny Cummings' life is far from a
fairytale, but that's okay since he doesn't believe in happy endings. After
spending a year in juvenile hall for maliciously beating his sister's
boyfriend, Danny embraces his badass image. Spending most nights drinking,
fighting and collecting gambling debts for his Uncle, Danny's life is out of
control. His addiction to the bad boy lifestyle won't let him do anything about
it, even with his family begging him to go straight. But, when fifteen-year-old
Lauren McIntosh stumbles into one of his nightly escapades, the self-proclaimed
anti-romantic can't concentrate on anything except Lauren and the fact that
she's on the same path his sister was on. Danny knows true love happening for
the villain is as common as gamblers paying their debt on time, but he's never
backed away from a challenge before and he hates the idea that history will
repeat itself.
Growing old with the man she loves-in the small town
where she was born-is the only dream Lauren McIntosh has ever had; that is
until her family is practically run out of town amidst rumors of arson and
adultery. So, when she meets Danny at her new school and hears the rumors about
his activities from her new friends, she wants nothing to do with him or the gossip
that seems to follow Danny everywhere. After a dangerous and ill-fated attempt
at sneaking out, she develops unwelcomed feelings for Danny that he seems to
reciprocate. But, Danny's unrelenting pursuit makes Lauren nervous, especially
since he's the only one that wants to know the secrets surrounding her family's
move. Lauren can't tell if Danny's intentions are true or if he has other plans
for their newfound and unlikely friendship. The only way to figure out is to
let him in and that could destroy everything, including the popularity and
social acceptance she desperately seeks.
