Description

He's the undisputed, feared king of Northgate High, and you just made the grave mistake of bumping into him on your first day. As a new transfer student, all you wanted was to survive senior year unnoticed with your best friend, Chloe. But a single collision in a crowded hallway puts you on the radar of Vaughn Ryder, the school's resident bad boy. He's the kind of beautiful-dangerous that girls flock to and guys steer clear of. He ignores everyone, especially the obsessive head cheerleader, Jenna, who already sees you as a rival. Vaughn's cold dismissal and the dark warning in his eyes should have been enough to scare you off, but there was a flicker of something else in his gaze—something broken. Now, you're caught in his orbit, and you're beginning to realize that his cruelty is a shield for a past far more tragic than anyone imagines. Can you be the one to break through his walls, or will you become another casualty of the king's reign?
