She's no damsel in distress. I'm not an optimist. Or a pessimist. I'm a realist. After catching the unwanted attention of Seven Shanahan, the school bully and jock at the upper echelon of high school royalty, I prep for a battle of wills and aim to win, even at the cost of getting my heart broken. He's the wrong guy to mess with. The new girl, Leigh Kim, should cool her temper. Be less defiant and a pain in my ass with this push-pull of me saving her life and she evening the score by stealing the things that matter to me. Because the more Leigh challenges the status quo, the hotter I burn with the need to bring her to her knees. For her to worship me like the other girls do. For her to be mine and no one else's until I'm done toying with her. I expect this and more. I am the almighty ruler at Cambridge High and won't be overthrown by a girl with enough attitude to light up a stadium. What I'm not expecting is for Leigh to threaten the one thing I'm unwilling to give to any girl--my damn heart.
