Avondale Academy is a prestigious European boarding school for the world's elite to send their children to study. Its student body is made up of future doctors, lawyers, politicians, millionaires....and now Evelyn Cooper. An amateur chess player from the Florida panhandle, Evelyn is way out of her comfort zone when she starts her junior year at Avondale Academy. Thrown headfirst into the world of credit cards, foreign accents, and rumors even more venomous than the ones she heard in American public school, she makes it her goal to focus on her studies and not get into any sort of drama.
But of course, there's a wrench thrown in her plans -four wrenches actually. Their names are Simon, Declan, Trevor, and Christopher, or as Evelyn likes to call them, the Aces. When she somehow manages to capture the attention of Avondale's golden boys, Evelyn realizes just how unattainable her drama free school year goals actually are. Add in a closet filled with emotional baggage and secrets, and a psychotic French girl and suddenly Evelyn has to face the fact that she's playing a game that she doesn't understand -and it looks like she's the wild card.

Love, Lies and Other Games
Love, Lies and Other Games (A Lakehurst Academy Novel) At Lakehurst Academy, love is a game, secrets are currency, and reputations can shatter with a single post. Mila has always been the responsible one-the planner, the problem solver, the friend you call when your life is falling apart. But when she discovers that her best friend Ivy has been secretly dating Chase Carter-the golden boy of Lakehurst, Mila's whole entire world tilts. Not because they're dating, but because of who they used to date. Before Ivy and Chase got together, Ivy was with Vanessa, the dramatic queen bee of student council, and Chase was with Liam, his ex-best-friend-turned-rival. Their breakup was messy. Their new relationship? A ticking time bomb about to mess with Mila's future plans. Now, with the school's anonymous gossip app, RunTellThat, closing in on their secret and old flames out for revenge, Mila has no choice but to do what she does best-damage control so she can save her own future. If she doesn't find a way to shift the attention elsewhere, Ivy and Chase's relationship will go public, and with it, all the drama, betrayal, and chaos that comes with rewriting history. The solution? A bigger scandal. Something distracting. Something shocking. Something completely ridiculous. Like maybe... pretending to date Leo Moretti, the school's most insufferable flirt and Mila's personal nemesis. It's a terrible idea. The worst idea. But at Lakehurst Academy, survival means playing the game-whether you want to or not. And when love and lies start to blur, the most dangerous thing of all... is the truth. #enemiestolovers
Love, Aurora
