It's summer vacation, and all Tori Logan wants to do is hang out with her two best friends, practice her mixed martial arts, and go to FBI spy school. Summer means freedom from adults...and their expectations of who and what she should be. As if being seventeen isn't hard enough, Tori faces an especially difficult set of circumstances. Her mother died when she was young, leaving Tori with a father whose idea of parenting seems to include trying to buy her love with expensive toys...and leaving Tori with his live-in girlfriend while he gallivants around the world. Fiercely independent, Tori has always relied on her own strength to get by. And with her two best friends at her side, Tori believes she can handle anything. But life has other plans, and they include Tori coming to grips with some hard—and surprising—truths about both her past and her future. Please note - part of a series and ends on a cliffhanger
