The Castletons own River Valley. Everywhere you go, you’ll see their name.

​

Castleton Motor Sports.

Castleton’s Steakhouse.

Castleton Golf Resort and Spa.

Castleton…High School.

​

The Castletons think money buys everything, including people. And Drake Castleton is the worst of the bunch—self-proclaimed King of the School. Too cool for the football team. Too sexy for academics. Too dangerous to fall in love with.

​

I’m new in town, and I’ve been warned about the Castleton Family. I’ve been warned about Drake. He’ll charm your pants off, girl. He’ll take you for a ride, leave you wanting more, and move on to the next girl. He’s a user. He’s just like his father.

​

He’s a bully.

​

I know all this. And I’m not a stupid girl. I don’t fall for bad boys.

​

But the minute Drake Castleton notices me, I’m a goner. Of course, I won’t let him know that.

​

***

All the girls in River Valley are the same.

​

I’ve dated most of them. Used many of them. Pissed off my family with a few of them.

​

The new girl isn’t what I’d call pretty.

​

Mouse brown hair. Giant ridiculous eyes. Permanently-pouting lips…

 

I want her the second I see her.

​

The only problem is: she’s already been warned about me.

​

But I’m the King of Castleton High, and I get what I want. One brat of a girl with a sharp tongue? Easy conquest.
