Austin Dashwood Academy is a necessary evil. I learned that early on. If I play their game and learn my role, when graduation comes around, I'll be set for life. Exceeding all the dreams a guy like me ever had-even if that means living a life that goes against everything I am. But then Garrett Close enrolls at Dashwood and I can't stop thinking about him. Wanting him. Watching him ... And hating him for being the one person who can ruin everything. Garrett I don't know what it is about Austin du Pont but he acts like king of the academy. Too good for the rest of us and not ready to spare me a second glance. Not that I should be worrying about a pretty boy with dead eyes. Dashwood is my ticket to a degree from an internationally-revered college. To the kind of high profile life my parents never got to lead. So why can't I stop thinking about Austin? And why does he keep popping up in the most random places? All I know is the closer Austin and I get, the more I start to doubt Dashwood Academy is the simple college it pretends to be.
