Brookside Academy

What do you get when you cross privilege, daddy's money, and reckless teenagers?

Brookside Academy.

The school year home of old money rich kids from across the country, and the shining crown jewel of New England private schools.

Emerson Carmichael is the kind of girl you want to hate, but she makes it so difficult. She's gorgeous, witty, and the heir to one of the most well known American fortunes of all time. Brookside Academy is her favorite place to be, and as a senior this year, she wants to make the most of it.

Bennett Sterling loves fast cars, expensive watches, and tailor-made suits. Him and his best friend William are the stars of Brookside's lacrosse team, but he's also been known to quote classic novels from time to time. A true renaissance man. He's charming, he's hot, and he just so happens to be Emerson's least favorite person.

The two have been forced together since eighth grade when their best friends began dating. When you've been that close to someone for five years, tension is bound to grow. The only question is, what kind of tension is it?
