Karter-Cobain Calista didn't expect to be suddenly pushed into the spotlight of Calista Preparatory. She had tried most of her life to do the exact opposite. But when Calista's Nonpareil -the group of students that topped the food chain and ruled Calista- were suddenly threatened to be exposed, Karter-Cobain finds herself stuck in the middle of it all, forced to help them while having her own royal secrets hanging on the edge. Not to mention the fact that Karter had suddenly felt her heart jump for Darius Van Doren and his hard, stormy eyes and clenched jaw without him even speaking to her. She knew that her last year at Calista wasn't exactly what she'd hoped it'd be. But like they say...Every man needs a woman when his life's a mess, because just like a game of chess.
