According to my mother, or Mother Dearest as I prefer to call her, my defiant behavior is unacceptable. Her way of dealing with me? Sending me to Devonshire Academy for Delinquents. If she thinks that my harmless pranks and apparent attitude labels me as a delinquent, then I'll live up to her expectations and show her a delinquent. Maybe this won't be so bad after all. Especially when a certain sexy bad boy walks into my life... well, detention. Same difference. Watch out Devenshire Academy, here I come.

At eighteen, Jade Sampson thought she had found the one man she would spend the rest of her life with, Austin Giles. He had been a long time childhood friend and later became her high school sweetheart. He was perfect in every way... or that's what she once thought. It was your typical hot southern, summer afternoon when she made the dreadful mistake of walking in on him with another woman in a rather compromising position. In a matter of minutes, her easy-going, perfect world came crashing down like a ton of bricks. Utterly heart broken and destroyed, Jade made the decision to leave her small home town and make her own way. It wasn't until five years later she received a call that would turn her new life upside down again. Her father, the same father that turned his back on her all those years ago had passed away. Now that she is forced to go back home and settle his affairs, how will she handle seeing Austin once again? Can she protect her heart any better this go round or will she relive the same mistakes and lose it all again.
