MOUNT VALLEY SERIES #1 Oz Lacy is that broody rich bad boy everyone stays away from. Him and his crew likes to wreak havoc in town, not giving a shit to anyone they step on along the way. You know that misunderstood villain in every good hero's tale? Well, this is his story. ___ BAD BOY x DORKY GIRL trope From the world of A and D, but with a darker and edgier take on high school life in Mount Valley High. Strictly not for the softies and the faint-hearted. This is a stand-alone, so you don't have to read A and D or Mismatched Compatibility first.
