Jace, Justin and Tessa who were once childhood best friends, are now strangers. Only Jace an Tessa attends Howard High until Justin transfers. At school, they walk with their different friends, hang out at different spots......everything they do is different......high school had changed them completely. But what happens when they become step-siblings...will they become best friends again and help each other to be who they use to be before or will they remain the way there are since they started high school?
They all need someone to help them remove their mask and stop them from falling further apart.💯
When River crosses paths with a man who speaks to every hidden hunger inside her, their connection spirals into an all-consuming pull neither of them can resist-but is she Grayson's salvation... or his ruin?
***
Everyone in River Avelle's hometown knows about Grayson Maddox-the troubled bad boy who almost killed another student in the middle of the school hallway. Those who look into Grayson's eyes only see pure fury and hatred.
They all think he's beyond redemption, even Grayson himself.
But not River. As the seemingly perfect good girl, River saw something more in those alluring grey eyes. Something worth holding onto.
From the first time their eyes connect, both Grayson and River feel the intense, undeniable attraction between them...but neither of them understand what's pulling them together so fiercely.
The closer they get and the more vulnerable they become, River has to wonder: is she saving Grayson from his darkness? Or is she just pulling him further into hers?

He tips my head toward his with his index finger, keeping my eyes trained on him and driving me crazy with the primal look on his face.
His grey eyes look heavy, filled with dark desire, and a shock runs up through my core. Everything around us disappears and all I can sense is him and the hardness pressing between my legs.
"What are you doing to me, River?" he whispers, his voice raspy and utterly captivated. His face is lowering and I'm closing my eyes, waiting for soft lips to press against mine. My whole body is on fire as I hold my breath for his touch.
