Cosmos Coyote and William the Nice - Couverture rigide

Juvenile detention or farm life in Iowa? Cosmos Coyote doesn't really have a choice after his last run-in with the law.

Iowa is nothing like Seattle: the smells, the people, his ultra-religious relatives, church every Sunday. Cosmos will have to hide his real self -- the "Coyote" -- behind his new persona, "William the Nice."

But who is more real: Cosmos or William? All he knows for sure is that he's falling for a girl whose Christian faith is as strong as she is beautiful and smart. Can their desire for each other stay within the rules set by her beliefs? How can they be together, when everything about their world seems to keep them apart?
