The Lockworth Lottery is unlike any other scholarship in the world. Students receive not only full tuition to the college or university of their choice; they spend their semesters living like members of legendary trillionaire family, the Lockworths: staying in their grandiose mansions, rubbing elbows with the wealthy and famous and jet-setting across the globe.
It's a prize so renowned and so highly coveted, past beneficiaries have been harassed, stalked, kidnapped... even murdered.
When Devon DaMaren - a shy, awkward eighteen year old misfit - wins the lucrative award she is immediately catapulted into the world of the elite. Private parties, overeager papparazzi and extravagant international shopping sprees... At last, Devon is beginning to feel like she matters. And she knows that her dreams of becoming a high-profile... something... are finally within her reach.
What Devon doesn't realize is that the Lockworth world she has become a part of is stirring something - something powerful that has remained dormant all these years.
And it's about to show everyone that she does not, in fact, belong.

You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy!

A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book.
