When you’re almost killed, not once, but twice, finding out your father is a mafia boss doesn’t seem so bad. What is bad, though, is the feelings I’m trying to hide toward John, my father’s personal assassin. With his brooding, bad boy aura and intense blue eyes, I know he could command anything from me and I would obey. Even though my father took him in and molded him into what he is today - a merciless killer - my father will be even more merciless when it comes to his only heir. Nothing but a brutal and violent death will be waiting for John if my father ever finds out.

I had the life most guys only dreamed about: The house, the parties, the girls... until one girl showed up and ruined it all. She doesn’t belong here. Not in the bedroom across the hall. Not in my house. Not in my town. And certainly not in my life. It wasn’t really her fault...or mine. We were caught up in the sins of our parents. She thinks she’s strong, but she doesn’t have a clue as to what I’m capable of. My name is Savage after all. I will break her.... But uncovering her secrets just might destroy me.

Some demons we can't outrun. Kane Legend is mine. The gorgeous boy who always finds me. The ruthless bully I've spent my life avoiding. Even leaving Harrow Creek wasn't enough to escape his torment. Because I didn't stay away and neither could he. One weekend home...one party. One night that ruined everything. 

Everyone thinks they know me...but they’re wrong. Fearless on the outside - a lie. I’m a fraud, hiding behind a mask of perfection. My reality very different. The captain. The leader. The Queen Bee. None of it real - all just an illusion. Perception is everything and I use it to get what I want, when I want, refusing to let anyone stand in my way. Until he shows me that he’s not the man I expected. He’s not just the quiet one...the innocent one. But the one to finally tear away the mask and look beneath the surface.

She was my best friend. The person I told my deepest secrets to. But when my world came crashing down, it was all because of her family. From that moment, I realized I’d been wrong to trust her. Her big caring eyes and sweet face were nothing but an act as she’d watched on while I tried to keep my head above water. That was our past. Now, I’ve largely put Camila behind me and moved on with my life. Though it doesn’t explain why she’s always there: Taunting me, tempting me, showing me the life I could have been living.

She doesn't belong here. From the moment she steps foot in Rosewood High - it's clear she must go. And I'll use my power to get rid of her. The betrayal I'm reminded of each time our eyes lock must end. She's a lost rich girl, trying to recover from the death of her parents. But none of that is my concern. This is my life. My rules. My senior year. What I say goes. And I say she's done. Until she proves me wrong....

They say your first love leaves a mark. For Calliope James, it didn't only leave a mark, it tore out her heart and left it bleeding on the ground. He was her best friend. Her first kiss. Her everything. Until one day, he wasn't. Zachary Messiah will never forget the girl with eyes the color of whiskey. But he's not that boy anymore. Cold. Cruel. He's devoid of emotion. Their paths were never supposed to cross again. But love doesn't always play by the rules.

You can’t outrun the truth.... It changes everything. Her secrets might have been exposed, but mine are still hanging over us. A betrayal that sends her straight into the arms of another. It’s like a knife to my heart. But I was holding the blade. 

Scarlett Hunter could run.... But she couldn’t hide forever. The beautiful girl who tempted me. The heartless woman who broke me. She might have got away, but I haven’t forgotten...or forgiven her.

When I claim my crown at Maddison Kings University, I’m going to make sure hers is tarnished. Scarlett Hunter is about to experience the revenge of a legend.
