Rose Wilson, Heaven Campbell, and Jack Jennings are just three normal high schoolers who don't quite fit into the social norm. Their softmore year at Harping High School has been about as uneventful and boring as it could possibly get.
Then, there's Ionna Harping, an adopted, homeschooled girl who has just about everything she needs - well, in terms of necessities. Being the Mayor's daughter, she has her life pretty much set. But there is one thing that sets her apart from others, that being her abnormal skin and hair colors, not to mention her pointed ears. According to her parents, it's a disconformity. She has no real friends, for fear they won't accept her for what she really looks like.
By fate, Jack, Rose, and Heaven meet Ionna and each discover their true purpose. Ionna herself may just not be what everyone -and herself - perceive her as.
Cameron Cole has a plan.
After yet another relationship ends because of certain shortcomings-literally-Cameron decides it's time to swear off dating and focus her energy into her junior year at the University of Charlotte. There's an internship up for grabs and there's no way she's letting that slip through her fingers. But then she's goes and makes one impulsive mistake that changes everything.
Wesley Reed has it all.
As the golden boy of the Charlotte Colts football team, he's got the talent, the looks, and a future so bright it's practically blinding. Girls throw themselves at him, professors let things slide, and the world bends to his will.
But when a required freshmen paper threatens his eligibility, the two are brought together in a sick twist of academic fate. Cameron can't get him out of her head and Wesley isn't making it any easier with his cocky smirk and insistent charm. Their arrangement teeters on the edge of disaster as unresolved tension and late-night study sessions give way to a steamy, no-strings-attached deal.
But in the game of love and lust, someone always has to loose-and the stakes have never been higher.
