Les gens attendent d'une fille prénommée Comet des choses extraordinaires. Qu'elle soit cool sans aucun effort et qu'elle illumine la pièce de la même manière que le ferait une comète à travers le ciel.

Mais entre la timidité qui rend ses amis de papiers plus attirants que les vrais personnes en passant par l'indifférence de ses parents qui la blesse plus que tout, Comet n'a jamais voulu être le centre de toutes les attentions. Elle n'a qu'une hâte : obtenir son bac au lycée d'Edimbourg , en Ecosse, où le seul endroit où elle se sent vraiment elle même est son blog anonyme de poésie. Mais cela va sûrement changer une fois qu'elle quittera le lycée pour la fac, quelque part, dans une contrée éloignée.

Quand le nouvel étudiant Tobias King arrive des Etats Unis et met le lycée sans dessus dessous, Comet pense qu'elle a compris ce qu'est un bad boy. Jusqu'à ce qu'ils soit mis ensemble pour un devoir à rendre et qu'ils se mettent à former un lien improbable. Tout dans le monde de Comet change d'orbite. Tobias a un passé sombre et s'est entouré d'un groupe de durs à cuire - et aucun d'entres eux n'est content de son intérêt pour Comet. Devenant la cible des harceleurs et mis sous le feu des projecteurs, Comet et Tobias peuvent prendre un chemin différent... ou prendre le risque de vivre quelque chose d'extraordinaire.

  Extrait:

 By the time we got to the house and I let us into my bedroom, I was a jittering wreck. Massive waves of nervous energy were emanating from Tobias, making me worse. He was rarely nervous about anything. Once inside my room, I waited impatiently as Tobias slumped down on my bed, elbows on knees, head in hands. I shrugged out of my jacket and unwound my scarf. Still waiting. “Comet,” he huffed, not looking up. “Sit down, okay, you’re making me nervous.” “You’re making me nervous.” I sat on the armchair across from him. “You and Stevie didn’t kill someone, did you? Did Dean dispose of the body for you and now he’s blackmailing you?” Tobias’s broad shoulders shook and he lifted his head to stare at me with amusement tinged with sadness. “You’ve got to stop reading so many books.” “Never.” He smiled at me, his look so tender that I squirmed with the need to shoot across the room and throw my arms around him. Instead I met his gaze and asked directly, “What happened back there?” “I just chose you over Stevie,” he said. I swear my eyebrows must have hit my hairline at this pronouncement. “What?” “Stevie and some of the guys have been hanging around Dean more and more. Dean is a dealer. And he’s part of something bigger—we’re talking an adult-sized, criminal gang who deal drugs and steal cars for a living. Dean deals cocaine to kids. Blair Lochrie High School is one of his grounds. He sells to quite a few kids there.” At our high school? Class A drugs at our high school? “Bloody hell,” I whispered, “Where have I been?” “Where I prefer you—safe with your nose stuck in a book.” “Tobias…Stevie?” Hearing the worry in my voice, he winced. “I tried, Com. I tried to keep him out of it, but he’s so messed up and I couldn’t stop him. I hung around to make sure he was okay.” “Is that why you’ve been avoiding me?” God, please let that be why he was avoiding me. “Yes.” A million apologies swirled in his gorgeous eyes. “I didn’t mean for Stevie to find out about you, because I didn’t want you anywhere near the stuff he was getting involved in. But then you two got along, so well I thought you might…have feelings for each other, so I told him that he either stopped hanging around Dean or he stopped hanging around you. He agreed keeping you out of that stuff, away from the boys, was better for you. So we stopped coming around as much and then stopped coming around at all. Tonight was his initiation into Dean’s crew. It was supposed to be both our initiations, I guess, because Dean was sending Stevie to some other party with drugs, and I was following Stevie as backup. Now I’m not.” There was so much to process in what he’d just said. My brain blurted out the first thing it wanted to deal with. “Stevie and I don’t have feelings for each other. I don’t like Stevie, Tobias.” His eyes widened as my tone implied that I liked someone else. “No?” “No.” “Good. Because I just left him to that hell.” He stood up and started pacing back and forth. “I tried to help him even if it meant hurting you, and he just let himself get pulled further down into that crap.” I stood up, reached out to touch him, to slow him down. He stilled, looking at my hand on his arm. “What did you mean? You chose me over Stevie?” “Comet, Dean made it clear that if I left with you, I couldn’t go around there or anywhere near him again. So I either had to stay and go with Stevie as his backup on a drug deal and leave you to handle Dean on your own, or I could walk out of there with you and leave Stevie to do it alone. For good.” His gaze moved over my face, as if he were committing each feature to memory. My heart started thudding so hard the blood rushed through my ears. “So you chose me.” “Of course,” he choked out. “I’d never let anything happen to you. And seeing you there…I never want to see that crap touch you again. It was a wake-up call for me. I don’t want to be a part of that shit either. That’s not me.” Seeing something in his expression made me brave in a way I never thought I could be. Knees trembling, I stepped up to him and placed a hand on his chest, over his heart. His chest was strong and hard beneath my hand, his body heat surrounding me and that woodsy, spicy, citrusy scent he wore teasing my senses. I wanted to sway into him, hold him tight, and never let go, but I had something important to say first now that I had his absolute attention. “Being a good student, working for something, achieving something, playing hard at football…it wasn’t all for your dad, Tobias. There is no maybe about it. Deep down you want those things for yourself, too. You’re smart and good and such a special person.” I gave him a tremulous smile, wondering if how I felt for him was as obvious to him as it was to apparently everyone else. “You deserve the life you really want.” His chest rose and fell faster beneath my hand as we stared into one another’s eyes. Tobias licked his lips, as if he was nervous. “What if I want to get my grades back up?” “Then I’ll help.” “And join the rugby team?” “Then you’ll try out.” He nodded and slowly lifted his hand to cover mine. He took a step closer to me, his breathing sounding a little shaky. The thud of his heart racing beneath my palm made mine accelerate. My legs shook and my fingers curled into Tobias’s shirt. “And…what if what I really want…is you?” Joy flooded me. I can’t truly describe the feeling. The euphoria. The excitement and thrill and fear and worry that cascaded through me at the thought of being with Tobias King. No matter the plethora of emotions that came with his question, my answer was instant and absolute. “Then you have me.”
