My best friend disappearing blows up my entire world, but Erika left for a good reason, and I have a good reason to leave too. But I'm not hiding. It's time for me to leave the darkness of my past buried behind me and move forward with my life. So I start college and immediately get into a tussle with him. He's known as a legend on campus. And hell does Rob Blackwood look the part. He thinks being a Grim Reaper, part of a motorcycle club, means he's entitled to what he wants. It doesn't help that we had a steamy night together on a cruise this past summer, but when I don't give in to him again… That's when he and his friends start to bully me. But he's gonna learn that I'm a legend in my own right.

My father thinks he can control me. He can't. The guys think they can corrupt me. They can't either. No one can touch me. In fact, Ace Granger, Grim Reaper and the star athlete of the football team? If he thinks he can corrupt me, pressure me, dominate me… Hell, I'm going to be the one to corrupt him, pressure him, dominate him. My past hasn't caught up to me yet, and I'm done being bullied. It's time for me to be the one to have some fun.

The world thinks Gabe Pendleton can do no wrong, commit no sin. He is, by definition, a victor. So am I. I've risen from the ashes of my past, and I'm a Grim Reaper myself now. Further entranced in their world. Gabe is so damn tempting, though, too tempting… And I know I'm his Kryptonite. All of the guys set my world on fire. I've always been mesmerized by flames. If I'm gonna crash and burn, they're gonna crash and burn with me.

Everyone hails Zac Stryker as a hero after he saves the day. But they don't know him like I do. He's wicked. So very wicked. Hot as hell too. Corruption… Temptation… Wickedness… The Grim Reapers know how to slay. And they slay me. But my past has finally caught up to me now, and I won't let my bullies turned lovers help me with this battle. I can be wicked, too. They'll see. My father will see before it's too late. I'm never going back. I've made my choice, made my home here. My family is my guys. I'll die to protect them. If I have to be a martyr, so be it.
