A military mom means moving. Again. Emmalee plans to keep her head down and make it through senior year. But when she arrives at her new school, she quickly learns that a summer accident left a Ravensville girl in a coma - and Em's curiosity pulls her into the only place she's sworn to avoid: the popular crowd.
To dig up the truth she must become the thing she's always resisted. New wardrobe, tennis team, late-night parties - and the attention of Chase Evans, the golden-boy quarterback who might be her best ally or her worst mistake. The more Em blends in, the more she realizes the glitter is anything but gold. Rumors, alliances, and carefully buried secrets ripple through the group, and someone will do anything to stop the truth from coming out.
What started as a low-risk favor turns dangerous fast. Lies escalate into threats, and Emmalee must decide whether belonging is worth losing herself - or dying for. A tense, twisty YA romantic thriller about identity, loyalty, and just how far you'll go to belong.
