I'm loving my new life at Callatin Academy. I've definitely found my group of friends and I'm excelling in everything I do. I also get to be the lead singer of the most amazing band called "Down Under" performing allows me to actually be my true self without the judgment of others and that's priceless. It turns out that my handsome hero from our Lake vacation lives only a few miles from me. Unfortunately, that also means we're officially from two different worlds. Lance Bowman represents everything I've ever known with his country boy charm. He comes with a group of friends who he's known since birth who have also become some of my favorite humans. The only problem is that my feelings for Lance are way more than I've ever known before in my life and I am spinning out of control. Will I be able to reign everything back in or will I falter and follow my mother's path?
