Senior year, the four Saintly Devils will present a rose to their selected. One girl who will belong to them. It sounds so far-fetched, and I’ve never believed in rumors—until they give me the rose. Gideon, Dante, William, and Mateo. Four of the sexiest, wealthiest, and most popular guys in the whole school. For the first time in history, a girl turns them down. That’s me. I crumble up that rose and hand it right back to them. Only, there’s so much more at stake than belonging to these four guys. There’s no way I could have known this was set in motion long before I even knew about them. When my choices are taken out of my hands, I have to find some way to control my life. I’m not going to be a doormat for guys I don’t like, these four who don’t know me. But I should have known better. They don’t want me. They’re following orders. I’m part of a contract, an initiation to something far scarier. Something called The Society. I’ve got no choice but to submit to the four Saintly Devils, to become theirs. They promised to protect me and those I hold dear. They lied.

I know pain and loss, what it means to be lied to. I have nothing. No one. I’m all alone. They took everything from me and want to take more. I did everything Gideon, Dante, William, and Mateo asked of me, and they failed. The Society believes I can leave. They give me the chance that was taken from me, but I won’t give up. I will have justice for the ones I lost, which means I have to stay. I have to become part of The Society. I must give them everything in order to get what I want. I wish I could blame the Saintly Devils. They turned my life upside down, but after I lost everything, they’re the ones who come to my rescue, making it so hard for me to walk away. But this was never about me, this was about them, and all I can do is hope to be there to save them when the time comes. No one betrays The Society. They are always watching and always prepared
