Overview

Shine is a petite, hot, in-your-face, lesbian high school senior. With her platinum blonde hair, killer body, sensual charms, and wily manipulation, she uses every trick in the book to seduce her classmates and get her way, and she takes no prisoners, usually leaving broken hearts in her wake. She has popularity, three loyal best friends, a boss rock band, and all the tail she can handle. Shine thinks she has it made.

But underneath her polished exterior flows an undercurrent, a deeper dimension that Shine refuses to acknowledge, one that will ultimately force her to reevaluate her life.

The trigger to her crisis is the arrival of Abby Smith to her school, a tall, red headed Texan would-be soldier who instantly steals Shine's heart. Through Abby, she rediscovers her capacity to love, and at the same time matures to see her past actions in a whole new light. But Abby's been hurt before, and when she learns of Shine's true nature, she severs the relationship.

Together with her crew and gay counterpart, Rudy, Shine must figure out how to prove to Abby that her feelings are genuine before the wreckage of her noxious past returns with a vengeance to destroy her future.

Will she be able to conquer the demons of her past before she loses her chance for the love of a lifetime?
