"Forget something?"--Abandoned by her free-spirited mother, Pinecone Rudd has been left with the only "family" she's got, her mom's ex-boyfriend, a seasoned biker named Hammond Barba. Together, they're hiding a grievous secret, which has Pinecone making up stories, like how her mom is simply overseas, practicing yoga, and living her dream...but when a new, good-looking senior named Beau Smiley shows up at school, asking questions and hanging around, things begin to unravel. He's definitely one to keep an eye on. Except every time she looks his way, he's got his eye on her, too. "Play it smart."--Beau Smiley is in the middle of a dangerous game, working for one motorcycle club while spying on another. Acting like a rat is not a life goal but a temporary gig for some fast money to see his ailing grandma through hard times. The plus side: getting close to the bohemian beauty, Pinecone Rudd, because she's a person of interest, in more ways than one. The down-side: potentially falling for this girl while deceiving her at every turn. That's why he created rules for himself, like rule #2: No distractions. Too bad he's not very good at following them...
