The Castletons own River Valley. Everywhere you go, you’ll see their name. Castleton Motor Sports. Castleton’s Steakhouse. Castleton Golf Resort and Spa. Castleton… High School. The Castletons think money buys everything, including people. And Drake Castleton is the worst of the bunch—self-proclaimed King of the School. Too cool for the football team. Too sexy for academics. Too dangerous to fall in love with. I’m new in town, and I’ve been warned about the Castleton Family. I’ve been warned about Drake. He’ll charm your pants off, girl. He’ll take you for a ride, leave you wanting more, and move on to the next girl. He’s a user. He’s just like his father. He’s a bully. I know all this. And I’m not a stupid girl. I don't fall for bad boys. But the minute Drake Castleton notices me, I’m a goner. Of course, I won't let him know that... \\\* All the girls in River Valley are the same. I’ve dated most of them. Used many of them. Pissed off my family with a few of them. The new girl isn’t what I’d call pretty. Mouse brown hair. Giant ridiculous eyes. Permanently-pouting lips… I want her the second I see her. The only problem is: she’s already been warned about me. But I’m the King of Castleton High, and I get what I want. One brat of a girl with a sharp tongue? Easy conquest. \\contains consensual sex, underage drinking/smoking, and various scenes some readers might find inappropriate\\ Recommended for 17+, mature readers.

‘I’ll go to the dance, but I won’t enjoy it. I hate you, Drake.’ Famous last words from a girl who can’t keep her lips to herself… ‘The game worked perfectly. She’s mine for the taking.’ Famous last words from a guy who doesn’t know he’s met his match... Tarryn. I can’t fall for Drake. No, I won’t fall for Drake. I’ll give him a taste of his own medicine. His bullying days are over. Drake Castleton believes he’s a king. He thinks girls exist for pleasure. And money buys everything. But it doesn’t buy me. Though there’s a part of me that… finds him intriguing. God help me. Drake. Tarryn thinks she can resist me. She thinks she knows how to play the game. She doesn’t know the truth though. That it was never a game. Even when I tried to convince myself that’s all it was… I don’t know how to make amends. But f\\k, I’m gonna try. \\contains consensual sex, underage drinking/smoking, and various scenes some readers might find inappropriate\\ Recommended for 17+, mature readers.

The King of Cool has fallen.His crown of gold has cracked.And the throne he once inhabited, has gone a shade of black. TARRYNThings were going so well. Drake and I were trying to put the past behind us. We were a cotton candy date and kisses beneath the starlight.But then there was Tabitha with her cell phone. And a reputation-killing video. Drake has a past. And that past is living and breathing. A love-scorned girl, revenge on her mind. A woman that was once his entire world, who’s been living a lie. And a bad boy history that breeds just beneath his skin.I’ve forgiven him for what he did, though I shouldn’t have. But I wanted him. More than I’d wanted anything. And I thought I wasn’t a stupid girl...DRAKEI don’t want Tarryn to see my… Rage. Anger has never been an easy emotion for me to process. I push it down, but it only stays beneath the surface for so long.I’m trying to kill one side of me—the one with the empty cavern in his chest. I’m trying to foster who I want to be—the guy before the mistakes, the guy before the darkness crept in. The guy before Lane broke me. But there are other sides of me. My father’s temper. And the fists that ache for action.I couldn’t change anything really. I always came back around to what I was. Circles have no beginning, and no end. So that’s what I am. Because I’m not a square. I’m not good enough to be a square. I never was.\\contains consensual sex, underage drinking/smoking, and various scenes some readers might find inappropriate\\ Recommended for 17+, mature readers.

Drake’s used to hurting people. But this time’s different. His heart feels ripped in two, And he’s ready to fight to win Tarryn back. A King is nothing without his Queen. \* DRAKE My biggest fear has come true—I can’t change, even if I want to. In the end, I hurt Tarryn, just like I knew I would. But I’ve never felt this way before, about anyone. Not even Lane. And I’ll do anything to win her back. Even if I might lose my kingdom in the process. Hell, I’ve already ruined so much—my reputation, my relationship, why not my future as a Castleton? # TARRYN I don’t know what I expected... that mere hours spent with me could wash away his bad boy past? A stupid girl. That’s what I was... but I could never go back to the before. I couldn’t undo how Drake made me feel. Even if I wanted to. He'd betrayed me though. If he’d just told me the truth, we could have found a way to make it work. Drake’s still a bully. Still a liar. And he won’t get out of my stupid dreams. \\contains consensual sex, underage drinking/smoking, and various scenes some readers might find inappropriate\\ Recommended for 17+, mature readers.
