Stonebridge High’s resident bad boy, seventeen-year-old Wesley “Big Mac” Mackenzie, is failing senior year—probably because of his unchecked anger problem and rowdy friends. So when his mom drags him to a winter production of The Nutcracker, Wes isn’t interested at all . . . until he sees Tristan Monroe. Mr. Nutcracker himself. Wes knows he shouldn’t like Tristan; after all, he’s a ballet dancer, and Wes is as closeted as they come. But when they start spending time together, Wes can’t seem to get Tristan out of his head.

Can Wes trade his skateboard in for textbooks, ditch his friends for the photography kids he once scorned, and blow up the bad-boy reputation he never wanted in the first place?
