Willow's always been known as the good girl with the wealthy parents who could do no wrong. Little do they know that this seemingly perfect girl has some less than perfect secrets; and the fact that she's been sneaking out past curfew every night since the beginning of summer isn't the worst one. Distancing herself from the people at school has become lonely, but everything changes when a group of bad boys that she meets after curfew one night transfer to her school and begin to take an interest in her; one even more than the rest. But will they be able to protect her when events from her past re-surface and begin to get her into more trouble than she ever wanted? ********************** We were a circuit, electricity flowing through us at every connection, every light touch igniting a heat that was exhilarating but dangerous. Like we could catch fire and burn to the ground at any second. "Did you take your own advice? Did you ever forgive yourself?" I whispered, my words evaporating in the heat around us. He moved towards me, trapping me against the car door as his lips traced over my jaw, down to my neck. "This," he whispered, his thumb tracing the waistband of my jeans, making my breathing falter. "Allowing myself to feel this happiness, to feel you...this is me forgiving myself." He kissed me, calming the raging storm in me and igniting a new one. I wasn't sure which would cause more destruction, but I knew only one had pretty blue eyes and a effortless smile that could convince me it was all worth it. It probably was.

Probably, and quite possibly...the worst... Now Rosie will learn the hard way that sometimes when a 6'4ft man with piercing green eyes, the mouth of a sailor and an obviously not so alluring demeanour tells you to walk the other way, just walk the other fucking way...

Seventeen year-old Jade Andrews never wanted to move to Fairview - a quiet, gray town where the houses all look the same and secrets hang heavier than the rain. With her abusive, alcoholic stepfather as the only person waiting for her at home, Jade learns early that safety doesn't exist - not in her house, and not in her own skin. She's small, just 4'10", with long brown hair and deep brown eyes that have learned how to avoid attention. But on her first day at Fairview High, attention finds her anyway. It starts with laughter. A shoulder check. A whispered insult. Then comes Hunter Lockwood - the school's rugby captain. Six foot five, blonde hair, aqua-blue eyes, and a calm, predatory confidence that makes everyone else follow his lead. Along with his friends - Noah, Xavier, Zach, and Luke - Hunter rules the halls with charm and cruelty in equal measure. To them, Jade is just a new game. To Jade, they're the reason she starts walking faster every morning and sleeping less every night. But beneath Fairview's perfect surface, something darker is brewing - and the line between victim and villain begins to blur. Because sometimes, the quietest person in the room is the one who finally breaks.
