'T COMMIT, Drix thought his life was over. But the opportunity to get his life on track came with the Second Chance Program, the governor's newest initiative to get delinquents off the streets and back into society. Now he's the program's poster child.

ELLE, THE GOVERNOR'S DAUGHTER, knows she lives a life of privilege. But the expectations and pressure may be too much to handle. She wants to follow her own path, whatever that means.

THEIR CONNECTION IS IMMEDIATE, and so are their problems. Drix is not the type of boy Elle's parents have in mind for her, and Elle is not the kind of girl who can understand Drix's messy life. But sometimes love can breach all barriers, if only Drix and Elle can push themselves--and each other--to finally get what they deserve.
