When 17-year-old Ava Carter transfers to a new boarding school, she's not expecting much - just a fresh start. What she doesn't expect is being assigned a dorm room with the school's most popular player, Axel Rivers, because the girls' dorms are full.
He's annoying, cocky, always shirtless, and way too good at getting under her skin. She wants nothing to do with him. But of course, his jealous ex can't stand her. And her own best friend suddenly starts acting weird... especially when he confesses he has feelings for her.
The rules were simple: no flirting, no dating, no catching feelings.
Too bad they're about to break all of them.

Violet is good. Axel is not. When Violet's mom gets married and Violet is tossed into upper-class society, she stays positive. Until her boyfriend cheats on her with her stepsister. Then hot, tattooed bad boy Axel offers something even goody-two-shoes Violet can't refuse: Revenge. * Axel is the perfect formula for a bad boy: a charming, smoking hot player with a screwed up family, a disregard for education and a tendency towards rebellion. His reputation is almost perfect. All he needs to do is corrupt a good girl. At least, that's the excuse he gives himself when he offers to help good-to-the-bone Violet. But she just might corrupt him. And he just might let her. * © Yemi Everest. All Rights Reserved. Posted: 17/09/2017 - 12/08/2018 // (Completed) Cover created by @flashingallenComplete
The Bad Boy's Possession (SAMPLE)
"Ace," I whispered, feeling my breath hitch, as goosebumps covered my skin. "Hmm," he replied, burying his face into the crook of my neck. He took a deep breath, sighing in content, while his hands moved up and down my bare waist. I closed my eyes shut, curling my toes. "Someone... Someone will see us," I managed to squeak out, trying to push at his hands. He took my wrists and pinned them to the wall on either side of me, leaving me helpless. "And?" He pulled away to look me in the eye. I bit my lip, able to hear my own heart beat as his hot breath traced against my lips. "We'll get expelled," I said softly. His eyes flickered to my lips momentarily, before he gave me a small smile. "No one is expelling us, Ava. And when I'm this close to you," he whispered, leaning in even closer, "getting expelled should be the least of your worries." - - - - After losing her family in a tragic accident, Ava Clayton shifts to Hillcrest, to start a new life.
