Blackmail, lies and unprotected sex. What could possibly go wrong in a relationship built on those things? Hannah Williams has a system. She doesn't sleep with a guy who rates over ten on a little scale her friend invented for her in high school.

That all goes out the window when she shows up at her ten-year high school reunion and Curtis Power starts whispering in her ear.

When secrets start pouring out, Hannah's world is rocked. Will Curtis' love be enough to put things back together? Or is she destined to live a meaningless life with strict rules to keep the dangers lurking in the world at bay? Reader beware: There's sex and cussing on the pages ahead.
