When her dad’s gone, Emma moves to a new academy for a fresh start, but the town’s BIG FOUR, Rowan, August, Liam and Karl, rule everything. Each dangerous, magnetic, and unpredictable, they pull her into their dark world. But the real danger isn’t them—it’s the secret deal that ties her to a deadly game she was never meant to play.
“Oh my goodness, Emma Bishop, is that you?” her saccharine voice reaches me, causing an unnoticeable cringe of my shoulders. Duh, who else would it be? `”Yes, it’s me.”A quick, forced smile forms on my face. “We also just moved to town over the summer. What a coincidence,” I reply, bemused as lines form small…
But, of course, Samantha wouldn’t go quietly. I haven’t known the girl for a full hour and I can already tell she’s ‘team too much.’ “What? No talk about your alcoholic mother or deadbeat father?” Sam snarks. Forget not feeding the beast. Nope! Whatever ‘when they go low, we go high’ vibes I had before…
“Ayyyy Riri!” I whirl to see the ginger sex on legs walking my way with his group of friends. His hands glide through his loosely styled curls. “Well, hello there, Love,” August says as he finally approaches. My body warms at his closeness. I feel things I shouldn’t, not for one of the heirs and…

He’s definitely got the snobby glare down. But then ‘sex on legs’ opens his mouth to speak, tanking my attraction faster than the euro…instant nose dive.…
However, one look at Emma and my dick went hard as steel. Sam’s whiny ass voice incessantly droning on about the new girl being disrespectful is doing a great job of killing it though. One look into those haunted fire-filled gray eyes and I knew I was fucked. No one talks back to me, but…
Sighing, I rest my hands on my rounded hips and inquire, “Jamie, how many times do I have to tell you not to make so much noise when it’s only the three of you home?” Pouting, her small bow lips twist as she aims her emerald irises up at me giving me her infamous puppy…
“Get going, Riah, before you’re late. I’ve got it from here. We’ll finish eating, then be out the door,” Jamie says. Nodding, I say, “Listen, your lunches are on the counter, and the bus comes at the end of the driveway.” I look at Jamie, and say, “Make sure you lock up before you leave.”…
PROLOGUE The echo of men’s dress shoes reverberates off the hollowed-out walls of the once quiet room. I have to get home to my family. The council assured me my family would be safe.
