I hated her. (But, damn, I still do... and that annoys the hell out of me.)
Dante Steele-let's just say he doesn't come from the best background and is infamous for his arrogance and intelligence (which, honestly, might shock people at first). He knows he's the best, and he makes sure everyone else knows it too. A normal (or maybe not so normal) 21-year-old senior in college, Dante lives for the hate he feels for the one girl he can't stand... but also secretly wants to make her his.
Vera Knight-a fierce 20-year-old junior who's been through a never-ending battle of ups and downs. She's kind, compassionate, and always willing to help, but she knows when to stand her ground and be rude to those who deserve it. She can't STAND the presence of him. Anywhere she goes, there he is. She has no idea how he manages to always be around, but after being academic rivals for God knows how long, he's still convinced he's better than her. And to top it off, he knows it.

When Dylan becomes Jade's personal servant, things spiral out of control quickly as power dynamics change, and Jade is left to question everything she's ever known. _________________________________ 'The elevator ride up was silent as Jade seethed quietly, a considerable distance from me. I sighed and snaked my arm around her waist, pulling her close with ease. I bowed my head and brushed my lips against her cheek. "Are you mad at me? I'll make it up to you," I cooed, kissing her neck gently. God, why did I love getting under her skin so damn much? I loved the cute way her eyebrows scrunched when she got mad or the way her freckles seemed to glow when she was embarrassed. "S-stop it," she said not-so-convincingly as she held her palms against my shoulders. I sucked softly on her neck right under her ear while trailing my fingers up her leg, releasing breathless gasps from her. Just as things were about to get good, the elevator dinged, and the doors began to open.'
