In a world where your name defines who you are, no one is safe. The wealthy, contented Ly's are all-powerful, leaving the Lesser's, nicknamed by their own kind as the Truths, completely without a voice. Forced to speak formally, wear black, and serve the Ly's, the Lesser's seem to have no will of their own. But a new era is rising, and with it comes a whole new generation-but will it ever be an era of Truth? Or will it always be an era of Ly's?
Join Sophie and Lyden, a Lesser and a Ly, on their epic journey to find love in a hopeless time-and, ultimately, to bridge the gap between the Ly's and the Truths.
Cameron Cole has a plan.
After yet another relationship ends because of certain shortcomings-literally-Cameron decides it's time to swear off dating and focus her energy into her junior year at the University of Charlotte. There's an internship up for grabs and there's no way she's letting that slip through her fingers. But then she's goes and makes one impulsive mistake that changes everything.
Wesley Reed has it all.
As the golden boy of the Charlotte Colts football team, he's got the talent, the looks, and a future so bright it's practically blinding. Girls throw themselves at him, professors let things slide, and the world bends to his will.
But when a required freshmen paper threatens his eligibility, the two are brought together in a sick twist of academic fate. Cameron can't get him out of her head and Wesley isn't making it any easier with his cocky smirk and insistent charm. Their arrangement teeters on the edge of disaster as unresolved tension and late-night study sessions give way to a steamy, no-strings-attached deal.
But in the game of love and lust, someone always has to loose-and the stakes have never been higher.
