Description

After Raya catches a scrawny, straggly-haired kid spray-painting a parade of long-legged black spiders across her precious hand-painted mural, she discovers he's a serial mischief-maker. Dyeing the river blood red so the townspeople think the Apocalypse has come. Spraying cuss words into the lawn with weed killer.

Nobody would believe the sweet-faced, sad-eyed August is bad to the bone. There has to be another reason. And when Raya meets the boy's dad, she thinks she has a clue. Blond, blue-eyed, impeccably dressed and super rich, Christopher Kane is every inch the perfect guy, but he has no idea how to treat with the teenage son who came to live with him just months ago. Man and boy can't see eye to eye, and Raya thinks all this acting out is the poor motherless kid's way of getting his busy father's attention.

When Raya takes him on as an apprentice, all she wants to do is help ease his loneliness and give him a sense of direction. She didn't count on Christopher invading her life, her thoughts and her heart as well!
