e·lite
əˈlēt,āˈlēt/
noun
1.
a group or class of people seen as having the greatest power and influence within a society, especially because of their wealth or privilege.
Bovine Academy boasts the creme of the crop--the finest education, services and programs intended to produce only the most prestigious and elite of modern society.
Within the group lies the Inner Circle: they are the rarest of diamonds amongst a sea of precious stones. They are the coveted image of prestige, glamour and wealth. The untouchables. The beautiful. The immortals (if you believe the rumours.) The elite.
Well, that's what everyone thinks.
Underneath the clique's lavish mansions and champagne parties lies a cesspit of betrayal, lies and destruction. Aira, the raven haired heiresses and founding member of the Five, has the world knotted around her skinny, Sicillian finger. Corbyn, the Golden Boy of Bovine, is under the iron hand of an abusive father. Audrey, bad girl daughter of tech billionaires, is the jealous girlfriend of Desmond. Tunde Desmond, the prince of Bovine, has it all--wealth, popularity, a beautiful girlfriend and an athletic scholarship within reach.
So how the hell does Casey Mathers fit in?
In a series or unexpected or unfortunate (depends on whose asking) events, nobody Casey Mathers from Nowheresville (if you believe the rumours) finds herself to be a memore of the exclusive group of the richest most coveted group in Winchester.
However, even the most brilliant coats cannot shield the ugliest of stains and Casey will soon become entangled in a lethal game of drugs, death and deceit.
Aurora Worthington's life was a picture-perfect script, written by people who cared more about appearances than authenticity. In Encino Hills, she was the queen of the high school elite-the untouchable blonde with an icy smile and a wardrobe that could grace a runway. To everyone else, she had it all. But beneath the surface, Aurora was drowning in a sea of her own insecurities, believing that love was something reserved for people who deserved it. People unlike her.
Her world was black and white-cold and lifeless-until a lanky boy from Reseda stepped into her life.
Miguel Diaz was the kind of person she had been taught to ignore. He was earnest, kind, and completely different from anyone she'd ever known. He wasn't wrapped in the privilege of Encino; he was wrapped in hope, determination, and an unshakable belief in second chances.
It was love at first sight-well, at least for Miguel. Aurora tried her best to ignore the way his big brown eyes followed her everywhere she went or how he took every opportunity to talk to her. But the more she pushed him away, the more she felt her carefully guarded walls start to crack.
For the first time in her life, Aurora wondered if someone could see past the mask she wore-and if she was brave enough to let them.
