After arriving back at school from Johnny's weekend of no rules, Arrington and Augie have a stronger relationship than ever. The schemers who tried to break them up failed, and Arrington now knows there are some people who'd like to witness their downfall.

But with a full class schedule, dance practice, and other commitments, Arrington has more important things to worry about.

Not only is she helping her friend, Laurent, unwrap a family secret that could shake up the political world, she's also staring in a music video alongside the flirty Beckham. And when they kiss at sunset and act out the passion of friends turning into lovers-on camera for all to see-things starting feeling a little too real.

If that weren't enough, her volatile relationship with her former best friend, Branson, is a confusing mess. The walls he's put up between them seem to be crumbling one minute and built up stronger the next. But things just don't add up. And she knows if she could just figure out what's going on with him, it could change everything.
