"Oh really? Maybe you should figure me out." I challenged, trying to ignore how close we were, trying to ignore the fact that if I moved my face a mere millimetre closer, we'd be kissing.

Emilie Baker was the 'it' girl at Roseshore High. The boys loved her, the girls wanted to be her, and everyone worshipped the ground she walked on, except Jake Newton.

Jake Newton, the typical bad-boy. The smouldering looks, the mysterious persona and a past that no one could ever know.

You'd expect the popular people of the school to be together in the perfect relationship, yet Emilie and Jake couldn't hate each other more. They were too opposite to attract and only had one thing in common- a dark past.
