The Bad Boy's Influence

"You keep looking at me like you don't want me, Adeline," Will murmurs, his lips brushing against my jaw while hand slides higher on my bare thigh, slow and deliberate. "But your body says otherwise."

My breath gets caught in my throat and my brain screams to say something, anything-but my lips won't move.

"I..." I begin to say, but the words die before they even leave my lips the second his mouth touches my neck.

Adeline Serrano has a reputation to protect. Straight A's, flawless record, and the badge of honor that comes with being the principal's daughter. At Willow Creek Preparatory she's everything a good girl should be: polished, respected, and untouchable.

But one drunken summer night changed everything. One kiss-hot, messy, absolutely forbidden-with the last person she should've been caught dead with.

Will Carter.

They don't call him the prince of chaos for nothing. The mayor's rebellious son. All smirks, bruised knuckles, and bad decision. Practically a walking scandal. Recently suspended for smoking with someone's daughter in the boys' bathroom.

Now he's back- with a bruised jaw, a vendetta, and nothing to lose.

So when Will decides to turn the school's poster girl into his newest distraction, Adeline's carefully built world begins to unravel. Secrets stir, bets are made, lessons are taught, truths unravel, and lines blur between hate and desire.

She's pretending it never happened, he's planning to make sure she never forgets.

Because some girls break rules. And the best ones?

They shatter them.
