Morgan planned to survive high school under the radar-no drama, no stages, and definitely no co-leads with the school's reigning theater goddess. But thanks to a rogue vocal moment and a drama teacher with no boundaries, she's suddenly cast opposite Skylar Chase: infuriatingly talented, dangerously hot, and very unimpressed. The tension onstage is electric. Offstage? Even worse. Or better. Depending on how much kissing you're into. Lines blur. Tempers flare. And if they don't kill each other first... they might just burn the whole script.Complete
