tortured dreams. beau maxwell

Marnie Ryde was used to being misunderstood. As a cheerleader and Winnie Ryde's younger sister, people saw her as shallow, self-absorbed, and popular - even though she had never been any of those things. When Winnie's injury forced her out of the captain position, Marnie unwillingly took her place, carrying a title she never truly wanted.

Beau Maxwell, Briar's star quarterback, had never paid much attention to cheerleaders before. Until the night at Malone's when he watched Marnie throw a drink in a grown man's face to protect a terrified girl, then walk out like it was nothing.

That was the moment she caught his attention.
