Summary
Max Walker is a golden boy. Tanned, blonde, attractive and athletic, he's the perfect son, the perfect sportsman, and a perfect crush for the girls in his school. He's even really nice to his little brother. His seemingly flawless family is about to get even more enviable: his Dad is running for election to Parliament. The spotlight of the media is about
to encircle their lives.
But when the enigmatic Hunter steps out of Max's past and threatens to make public the secret that Max's family has been keeping quiet for so long, Max is forced to consider the nature of the secret. Why won't his parents talk about it? Who is Max Walker really? Will his friends accept him if he is no longer the Golden Boy?
As Max and his family face these life-changing questions, revelations and the fall out that ensues, Max falls in love. He might be flawed, but could he be the perfect imperfect boyfriend for wildcard Sylvie Clark, the oddball loner in his class?
