About this ebook

Taylor's a star on the soccer field, but she's going to need a new game plan to protect her heart

Captain of the soccer team, president of the Debate Club, contender for valedictorian: Taylor's always pushed herself to be perfect. After all, that's what is expected of a senator's daughter. But one impulsive decision—one lie to cover for her boyfriend—and Taylor's kicked out of private school. Everything she's worked so hard for is gone, and now she's starting over at Hundred Oaks High.

Soccer has always been Taylor's escape from the pressures of school and family, but it's hard to fit in and play on a team that used to be her rival. The only person who seems to understand all that she's going through is her older brother's best friend, Ezra. Taylor's had a crush on him for as long as she can remember. But it's hard to trust after having been betrayed. Will Taylor repeat her past mistakes or can she score a fresh start?

Ratings and reviews

It is the best teen book to read. I couldnt stop reading once I started. I need a guy like Ezra in my life.

This book was good different from the other books from the series. Plus I wanted more of the Jordan and Henry story at the end :(

Light reading. Love it!
