After years living under an abusive stepfather's roof, Emery finally escapes to start over with the birth father she barely remembers. New school, new family, fresh start — she just wants to keep her head down. But on her very first day, the most dangerous boy in school won't stop staring at her. Ronan never stares at anyone — not like this — and now Emery can't decide if she should be flattered or terrified. The answer is probably both.

"What the hell?! Demi!" I stare as Jace whirls around angrily and storms right at me. Uh oh. Maybe I pushed it a little too far... "What's your problem?! Did you really need to plaster my car with pink sticky notes?!" He comes at me and I edge back a step. He moves in again, and I keep backing up until the wall stops me. "If you'd just left me alone after I warned you, I wouldn't have needed to do that," I shoot back. He lets out a chuckle. "You have no clue what you just started." "What do you me--" His mouth hits mine before I can finish. I go still. What was going on? And why did it feel that good? Jace hooks an arm around my waist and drags me nearer. I loop my arms over his neck and knot my fingers through his hair. He nips at my lower lip, gentle and slow. Just as I'm about to part my lips, he pulls back. "Watch your back," he says. He throws me a smirk before turning to walk off. What the hell just happened? Demi isn't like most girls. Rather than getting her nails done and trading gossip, she'd much rather ride her motorcycle or go dive jumping. She never had friends at her old school, but could that finally change once she starts at a new one? She runs into the school's bad boy, Jace. One small prank, dumping pudding over his head, kicks off a completely different war. They keep pranking one another and start to realise they might feel something for the other, and the other might feel it too. Will they use that against each other?
