When Elise Layton gets into serious trouble with a group of friends in her home town, her parents decide to send her thousands of miles away to protect her. They hope she'll finally change her rebellious ways and come back to them having matured.
After a long and emotional conversation with her parents about where her life is headed, she gets on a flight. On her way from London, England all the way to a little U.S town called Rockport, she thinks of who she needs to be. She knows it's time to change and to repent for all of the things she's done to cause pain to others. She's going to use her best assets to help, rather than hurt people.
Starting at an American high school is going to be a challenge for her, after leaving her sixth form in the U.K. She's nervous but that's something she'd never let show. She's been through too much to show any weakness. She knows she can use her strength to build others back up.

Ally is a very cool chick. She's smart, down to earth, feisty, funny, and perceptive. She may or may not have a ghost on her side - do you believe? Ally's not falling for false charm and lies. When three guys at her posh new school make her the target of a sex bet, she busts them and takes the money. That's just the start because now these guys claim to be madly in love with her. Is it just a bigger bet? Is she the most challenging prey they will ever hunt? She thinks so and isn't going to fall for it. She tries to ignore them, but some of them aren't giving up. If you've ever wanted to slap a girl in a story for falling into a trap, you'll love Ally. What if it's not a trap? What would it take to convince a smart girl? How does a poor lovesick guy prove he's changed? Can he redeem himself if he has? Should he ever be forgiven? Many clichés are turned around in this story. The girl isn't gullible. The current popular girl threatened by Ally's rising stardom isn't really a witch. Parents aren't evil. Even the school sluts aren't that bad.

It will take all school year and maybe the summer as well to sort it out, but the journey will be interesting and funny.

I could tell he was furious. Yet somehow, I wasn't scared of him. "No" I shook my head bravely. "If I told you,'' He tried again, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath before continuing.''That you make me so fucking mad, I want to punch a fucking wall. What would you say?" He had me trapped now, my back painfully colliding with the wall behind me. I gasped at the impact, looking up into his icy grey eyes. They were cold, emotionless. As always. "Do it!" I dared him with the last ounce of courage I had left in me. The sound of his fist smashing through the wall right next to my head, made my ears ring for a brief moment. I opened my mouth to speak again, shaking slightly, only for him to pull away and leave me standing there alone. ____ !!Warning!!
