Dawson is- most people who don't know him would say- as straight as they come. And senior year away from home promises to be a big year for him: no parents in sight, a whole new set of friends, he just seems to have it all. Not to mention that all the pretty girls of the very private Wharton High are dying to get a taste of the new talk of the school. If only he could get Adam Hamilton's eyes out of his head. * "He dislikes him so much he is annoyed by the mere sound of his breathing. He dislikes him so much that he can't bring himself to ignore him; that even the way his stupid glasses perfectly sit on his symmetrical nose exasperates him; and his ridiculously blue eyes that take different shades of blue based on his mood and now Dawson knows that apathy is the ocean whereas rage is a starless night sky. And his jawline looks like it was sculpted by the hands of Michelangelo, but he dislikes him so much he can't look at his face without feeling his cheeks flush in anger. Truth is, Dawson dislikes him because Hamilton did something that no other person- despite their best efforts- ever managed to do. He made him feel weak."

Olivia Golden is a photojournalist living in New York City, working for a crappy little newspaper and waiting for her first big break. Hot on the trail of a series of inexplicable, gruesome murders, she is determined to be the one to crack the case that no one else can - that is, until she meets sexy, mysterious, pain-in-the-ass Ezra Roman, a billionaire real estate mogul and philanthropist with a questionable past, who just isn't all that he seems. When Ezra and Olivia team up to find the murderer, she's faced with a choice - find the murderer, and have the all-star news career shes always dreamed of, - or find out the truth about Ezra's past , even if it means that he's more than she can resist - and that she may just not be all that she seems either.
