Hi Kristina,
Thanks so much for your message - I'm so sorry I didn't see this before. I know it's been a while, but I somehow managed to miss it.
It's a great question, but it's not as simple as it would seem to answer it, I'm afraid, for a few reasons. Firstly, if I can't really answer it without giving away spoilers, which obviously I can't do!
Secondly, this is Arlo Jones we're talking about. He's one complicated mofo, and as such, things are never black and white with him. This is a good example of that fact. The best way to understand him and what motivates him is to read the first three books in this series that tell Arlo and London's story - Catching London, Cold, Hard & Heartless, and Pushing Arlo.
I hope that helps, and again, huge apologies for the delayed response.

Hi Javelyn,
Thanks so much for your question - it's good one!
CHH is a retelling of some of the events of Catching London, but from Arlo's point of view. I had a lot of comments and questions about wanting to hear Arlo's point of view, as Catching London is told purely from London's perspective.
So if you read Catching London, then CHH before Pushing Arlo you have a great insight into what was going on for both of them before the story moves forward (told from Arlo's point of view) in Pushing Arlo.
I hope that explanation makes some kind of sense!?
