Parkhurst Prep

He’s off-limits. So why does it feel like he’s mine? Sebastian Novak has been off-limits since the moment I figured out what a crush was. He’s my brother’s best friend. Basically family. The guy who’s always around but never really mine. So when he kisses me at a party as a part of game, I know better than to believe it meant something. He’s already acting like it didn’t happen. And I’m doing everything I can to pretend I’m totally fine with that. But keeping a secret this big isn’t easy. Not when we’re suddenly spending more time together.

Dean Graham has always been a little too smug, a little too charming, and always just a little too close. He’s my brother’s best friend. The guy who never missed a chance to get under my skin. He never meant anything to me. Until suddenly, he did. On the worst night of my life, Dean was the one who held me up. Now, he’s showing up in ways I never expected, and seeing through the smile I use to keep everyone out.

I’ve built my life on being the good girl everyone expects me to be. Perfect grades. Perfect reputation. Perfect future. And then I meet Cole Mercer. He doesn’t belong in my world. He’s from the wrong town, the wrong school, and the wrong side of every line I’ve been taught not to cross. He has with a reputation my parents would never approve of and a future no one seems to believe in. But after I end up locked in a closet with him at a party, everything flips upside down. He's everything I'm not supposed to want—so of course, he's the only one I can't stop thinking about.
