Which is why shes been shipped off to New York to stay with relatives - including her sophisticated cousin Tory - until the trouble shes caused back in her small hometown dies down. Tory couldnt care less about Jinx - until Jinxs chronic bad luck starts wreaking havoc in Torys perfect world. Only then does Jinx learn that beneath Torys big-city glamour lies a world of hatred and revenge. And now Jeans jinx could be the only thing that can save her life.
