For use in schools and libraries only. Justyce McAllister is top of his class, captain of the debate team, and set for the Ivy League next year--but none of that matters to the police officer who just put him in handcuffs.

The only exception: Sarah Jane, Justyce's gorgeous--and white--debate partner he wishes he didn't have a thing for.
