When Olive Wallace is expelled from her U.S. high school, she's forced to move halfway across the world to Crestview Academy, a prim and proper boarding school in the English countryside. She's ready for a fight, but the twisted games and rigid expectations of Crestview test her more than she's ever faced. Among her bullies and classmates is Archer Campbell: mysterious, dangerously charming, and completely off-limits, thanks to his family's powerful influence and strict rules on status.
Yet there's a tension neither of them can deny. He's broken too many rules, and she's been nothing but trouble her entire life. The deeper they're drawn together, the more they risk exposing secrets that could unravel both their worlds.
"I should stay away," she tells herself. But she knows that with Archer, the only rule left to break is her own heart.
"Sometimes, breaking the rules is the only way to find out who you truly are."
