Two years ago, Aviana Ace's life changed completely.
Two years ago her boyfriend of a year dumped her at her 16th birthday party. Openly might I add.
Two years ago her best friend stole her boyfriend. Her friends turned their backs on her.
Everything she ever thought was true ended up as a lie. So she did the only thing anybody would do, she ran.
Now flash forward two years later, she returns to Lincoln High completely changed. Gone is the naïve, innocent and quiet Aviana who could barely speak out loud in front of a crowd. Her once fragile state had evaporated.
She was now a hotheaded, sassy girl who didn't take shit from nobody. Wit, sarcasm and violence became her language.
On top of her annoying ex that won't leave her alone and her ex best friend who is persistent on ruining her life, is the bad boy that sits next to her.
Xavier Steele has a certain way with the ladies, they know he will leave them the next morning but they are stupid enough to sleep with him. Thinking that they could be the one to change him. Now the only thing on his mind is the sarcastic brunette that is the only girl to date, that has ever rejected him.
He wants her, she wants him...to leave her alone.
Things heat up between Aviana and Xavier, add a shitload of trouble, cursing, violence, boys that don't understand the meaning behind no and territorial bimbos and you have a ride of your life.
Contains a lot of cursing, hot make out sessions and more...
