Angel Youngblood is pissed. After spending years adapting to the patterns of her flighty mother and unpredictable brother, an unplanned move back to her distant father sends her previous plans spiralling out of control. But Angel Youngblood has spent her entire life adapting. This will be nothing new. Until she meets Reed Astor-Royal and his friends, and she hates the way he makes her feel. The way he lights her skin on fire and makes her feel alive. But she hates him. And he hates her. He makes sure of that. Because no one is stronger than Reed Astor-Royal and the Elites. And they don't want her. They'll do anything to make sure that she knows it. To make follow their rules and not to step out of line. Reed wants to hate her. To hate the way she ignores his rules, to hate the way everyone seems to look up to her and even want her. Most of all, he wants to hate the way she gets under his skin, the way he wants her more than he's wanted anyone. But he can't have her. And she can't have him. It's against the rules. Yet after a drunken hookup at a party that neither of them were expecting, they can't deny the tension that runs hot with them. So they come up with an agreement. Hate each other in public, and have each other in private. And with that comes another set of rules. 1) You can have sex with anyone else, but family is off-limits. 2) Don't speak about this in public. 3) Don't fall in love. But with a girl who can't stop trying to outrun her past and a boy who won't think of the future, rules are bound to get broken. Hearts get broken. People get hurt. Is there even a chance at love for people like them?
