She only looked back when she heard footsteps coming along the corridor. The man she saw pass by froze her to her seat in horror. The red and black of the sheriff's cloak flashed away. He was spying on them! Roberta sat for several seconds replaying it in her mind. What if he heard what she'd said about her 'guests'? Allan was a sitting duck now! Stupid stupid! Prince John would become suspicious of her now and he'd never let her out of his sight. She had to do something to throw him off the scent. Something to make him think she was still just an ornery child and not that she was aiding the bandits under his very nose.

Everyone knows the legend of Robin Hood, the dashing outlaw who robbed from the rich and gave to the poor. They know of his skill with a bow, his life in Sherwood Forest, and his fight against the villainous Prince John. But this isn't his story. Life in the spotlight has turned seventeen-year-old Marian Lennox into a reluctant celebrity. With a razor-sharp tongue and a severe distaste for authority, she's no media darling, but a consistent thorn in the side of her father's political career. After a night on the town turns into a near-deadly fiasco, her parents ship her off to a prestigious boarding school in the hopes of keeping their rebel child far from the press. All is not as it should be within the stone walls of her prestigious new home, however, and it isn't long before Marian finds herself under the watchful eye of a conniving and corrupt headmaster. It isn't until she stumbles across a charming archer with a broken past, and his merry band of outcasts that she begins to understand the true meaning of the phrase "teenage rebellion." From within the walls of a boarded-up, old theatre, the students, a veritable who's-who of delinquent elite, plot to save their school and take down their headmaster one heist at a time. With her future and heart at stake, Marian must learn exactly who she is and what she's willing to fight for. Told through flashbacks and alternating points of view, Marian, Unmade is a romantic, modernized retelling of a whip-smart heroine, and the legend who stole her heart.Complete
