When Arielle Winters, a deeply traumatized 21-year-old English girl, moves to an American college to escape her past, she's hoping for a fresh start and a chance to heal. But life has more twists in store for her, and she finds herself caught in the sights of Jacob Black, the college's notorious bad boy.
Jacob is a player, a breaker of hearts, the leader of a group that thrives on cruelty. And he's just been dared to make Arielle fall in love with him and then shatter her heart into pieces.

Can love truly conquer all, even when it's built on deception? Can Arielle break free from her haunted past and find peace in the arms of someone she was meant to despise? In a world where nothing is as it seems, trust is a rare commodity, and love is a tangled web.
Join Arielle and Jacob on a tumultuous journey beyond the antisocial barriers, beyond the scars of the past, and into the heart of what it means to love and be loved.
