The Athena Effect — Derrolyn Anderson

Caledonia has been kept a secret her entire life, raised in isolation and at one with nature. When an awful tragedy tears her away from her tiny cabin in the woods, nothing she's ever read in her beloved books prepares her for the modern world that she knows very little about.

Girls and motorcycles are what bad-boy Calvin's life is all about. Brought up in a raucous party house by his biker brother, he's free to do as he pleases, going through the motions on his final days of high school. Aimless, Cal stopped thinking about his future a long time ago.

When he's attacked by a gang in a deserted cemetery a fierce girl appears from out of nowhere. She chases away three grown men to stop Calvin's brutal beating before disappearing into the night like a ghost. Cal can't stop thinking about his mysterious rescuer, and when she turns out to be the strange new girl at school who goes out of her way to avoid him, he can't contain his curiosity.

He's never met anyone like her before, and the more he learns about the unusual girl who shares his nickname, the more he wants to know. Cal can't help falling for Cal, but can he keep her from falling victim to a dangerous enemy from her parents' tragic past?
