Trying to work things out with Nash –– her maybe boyfriend –– is hard enough for Kaylee Cavanaugh. She can't pretend nothing happened. But "complicated" doesn't even begin to describe their relationship when his ex–girlfriend transfers to their school, determined to take Nash back.

And Sabine isn't above scaring Kaylee and the entire school to death to get whatever –– and whoever –– she wants.
