JORDYN

My life's been laid out for me since before I was born.

Graduate high school, marry the mayor's son, get my degree and take over my mother's company.

I don't want it - I don't want any of it - but I'd never say that out loud.

Girls like me aren't supposed to speak our minds. We're supposed to smile and look pretty and do as we're told without argument.

I keep my mouth shut for an easy life.

A boring life.

But then I met him.

Xander Reid doesn't follow rules.

He's a cocky bad boy with a devil may care attitude and a tongue bar I can't stop staring at.

He treats life like a game and dares me to play with him.

And even though I know he's bad for me, I'm not sure how much longer I can resist.

XANDER

Lakewood is supposed to be a punishment.

A way to fix me and my unusual take on life.

Seven months before the end of my senior year, my parents ship me off to live in a strange town with a family I barely know and a private school full of entitled rich kids.

They seem to forget change doesn't bother me.

I get bored easily, can't sit still for five minutes and nothing holds my attention.

But then I met her.

Jordyn James isn't as innocent as she makes out to be.

She's a bad girl trapped in a life fit for a princess, desperate for freedom from the chains that hold her back.

Making her mine just might be the worst thing I've ever done, and yet I regret nothing.
