A stranger to her own existence, Kayla moves to a small town with the hope of finding comfort in a fresh start. But as she steps inside the unfamiliar classroom on the first day, standing in front of the class is a mysteriously familiar face, one that rouses memories of a time she believed had gone by. With past baggage catching up in the most intrusive ways, she stumbles upon unexpected comfort of friendship, unconditional love of found family, and a beautiful yet complicated bond between two hesitant souls. "This book was like a warm hug, and I might believe in love again."

All Rosemary wanted was to receive the education she needed to secure a promising future. Not knowing she had just walked into the secret playgrounds of the elite, where they lived out their wildest fantasies. The last thing she wanted was to stand out from the crowd, but she also wanted nothing to do with the shenanigans. And worst of all? She had to deal with her new roommate, the notorious "it girl" who everyone worshiped. Somehow, becoming her full-time tutor and "babysitter". The job definitely didn't come easy when Violet tried every little intimidation to scare and annoy her away. Between the bickering and closeness, lines began to blur but could their stubbornness be bigger than whatever feelings had emerged? Behind the secretive walls, Montgomery was known for its parties, midnight getaways, and not so "legal-friendly" acts. Nothing compared to how it displayed itself to the public eye. Far off from being the most prestigious school as it claimed to be.

"...and then, everything was a restart,"

"I think no matter how much time passes by, I'll always have a weak spot for you, and that terrifies me as hell."

She dips her head, her lofty brunette curls pouring out across the white pillow case. She tucks one strand that has fallen too far against her cheek, behind her ear timidly. I've still not grown accustomed to the demure version of Lauren I'm seeing now. When only minutes ago, she was ambitious, arousing, and unchaste. I confirm her suspicion. "Well you're right," I say. "I've never had a one-night stand," I grin, flustered, seemingly mirroring Lauren's own expression. "You were my first..."
