Her Fresh Start May Be Her Last Ashton Banks is supposed to be mourning, but after a disastrous few years, she's beyond the ability to care. Following the loss of her father, Ashton is sent to start over with distant family in the calm settings of Green Cove, Georgia. At her new elite high school, she soon falls in with her popular cousin and her esteemed crowd of friends. With a fresh start and new faces, Ashton is hoping for the best. When she sets eyes on Adrian Ko, all bets are off. An all-star soccer player and shutterbug with an eye for detail, Adrian has it all: looks, money, and status, making him seemingly the total package. Only, he's the least bit friendly with Ashton-not to mention all the warnings around school to stay away from the brooding teen. The last girl he dated vanished without a trace, and all eyes are on Adrian. Against his frosty disposition, Ashton can't help but feel a connection as she recognizes a part of herself in Adrian. They're both avoiding grief and desperately trying not to let their tragedies consume them. Despite bumping heads, neither can resist their undeniable chemistry and spark. However, this spark may burn when harbored secrets come to the surface threatening to destroy them both for good.
