description: A sliver of a second is all it takes.
  
  As a Cuban refugee, Maria Reyes knows what it means to come from nothing. The States have given her new dreams. Like graduating high school. Going to college. But most of all, a chance to stay out of trouble. Which is why falling for Hale Watson is out of the question.
  An unguarded moment, a simple mistake.
  
  Hale is a flash of a second away from being locked up for good. With a rap sheet longer than the list of homes he comes from, Hale has one more shot at making things right. Graduate senior year. Don't mess up. Don't get caught. That's the plan. Until he meets Maria.
  
  And everything changes.
