Senior year was not going how I planned. It was supposed to be an amazing year—the perfect year. And it started out that way… until my mom remarried, and I found myself in a new town, at a new school, and living with quite possibly the most conniving person I had ever met. But my horrible stepbrother wasn’t even the worst part. It was his best friend. Zayden Michaels. Gorgeous. Unpredictable. Treacherous. The kind of guy who sends most sane people running in the opposite direction. He hated me from the first moment he saw me. He made it his mission to make sure I knew it too. I became the target—the bullied. Until suddenly I wasn’t anymore. But in a world of rumors, games, and deceit, you never really know who you can trust. Sometimes the best deceptions are the ones you never see coming.

Oliver Conley…. The most infuriating man I’ve ever met. He’s crass, selfish, malicious. The worst kind of person. From our very first encounter we were at odds. Standing on opposite ends of the battlefield preparing for war. He didn’t care for me. I despised him. Until one day things started to change…. I didn’t want to want him. Hell, I hated myself for it. And yet, there I was, falling hard for a man I had sworn as my mortal enemy. But as time passed, I started to see him differently. I started to see beyond the perfect exterior he exuded. I started to see him. But how can you truly know someone who’s spent their entire life hiding behind a façade? Lines are drawn. Secrets are revealed. And when the dust finally settles, nothing will ever be the same again.
