Pierce, the younger brother of a prior misfit, and one of Rae's best friends, struggles with the unfortunate title that has been passed down to him.
Ace, a good-natured boy, deals with a mental illness no one know's about until it's too late.
Ethan, Rae's ultimate best friend since she was old enough to hold her own head up, makes it his sole purpose to take care of Rae after he finds out about the darkness his family hides, in the hopes of never letting Rae go through anything similar, and well, being the best friend she could ask for.
Set in Chicago, this story of a seventeen-year-old girl comes with the promise of new friendships, love, and, possibly, tears.
Fleur Lefevre has two rules.
1. Avoid trouble at all costs.
2. If trouble finds you, run.
After the death of both her parents, she's finally found purpose in perfection. She's captain of the debate team, organizes charity events for fun, and lives strictly by the book. Fleur stays away from anything - or anyone - that might threaten to crumble her carefully constructed world.
Damen Ashford is trouble in the flesh. He's fresh out of juvie, has multiple criminal charges against him at 17, and is the reigning bully of Hillcrest High School. But behind the bruised knuckles and smirk lies a secret: he's also Viper, a renowned underground fighter on the brink of becoming a legend. Now with probation hanging on his head, Damen's life of fists and fame is slipping through his fingers.
When Fleur spots a bruised, rain-soaked Damen under a flickering street lamp, she knows she should turn the other way. But trouble has a way of pulling you in - even when you know better.
