Tegan Leona didn't ask to be targeted by the school's bad boy. She didn't ask to be the butt of his practical jokes. And she definitely never, ever signed up to be his tutor.
When Cameron King shows his face in Tegan's English class, she was in a pretty good mood. Life was going nicely, her best friend had landed her crush, and her sister had just gotten back from the hospital with Tegan's new baby niece. Her day was going wonderful; that is, until he opens that big mouth of his.
Constant jabs are thrown at Tegan. She spends all day dreading that class and all night trying to figure out how to put up with his antics. When she's chosen to be the boy's tutor, well, shit was bound to hit the fan.
Soon, Tegan is thrown into a world that she isn't exactly familiar with. Wild house parties, motorcycles, and cutting classes were never on her agenda, and physical confrontation wasn't her forte. And yet, for better or for worse, this becomes her world. And worse, Tegan finds herself becoming more and more attracted to her tormentor.
After all, there is a fine line between love and hate.
"Her troubled eyes held fire. The kind of fire that was capable of burning me to ash."

I grabbed her chin with my free hand, making her look at me. "I hate that I don't know you. I hate not being a part of your life, like I was before."
I leaned a little closer, as her intoxicating scent filled my lungs. "Trust me, I can't hate you, no matter how hard I tried."
"So you have... " It came out as more of a question than a statement from her as she looked at me with her big blue eyes.
"What?" I frowned, dropping my hand from her chin and grabbing her hand, instead.
"You have tried hating me then?" She asked, tilting her head to the side.
This time it sounded more like a statement than a question.
"I have." I sighed, dropping my head in shame. "And it made me lose the most important person in my life."
