Scarlett Wallace has hated me since the moment we met. Fine—feelings are mutual. When she transfers to Shadow Valley U, her dad’s brilliant idea has us living under the same roof as newly minted step-siblings, and she becomes impossible to ignore. Too stubborn. Too tempting. Too off-limits. But when I mess up with the wrong crowd, they demand repayment. And unfortunately, they decide Scarlett is the perfect leverage. She deserves a fresh start after what happened at her last school…Instead, she gets me—her stepbrother. The guy who can’t stay out of trouble…and can’t stay away from her.

Il y a quelques mois encore, j'étais la reine d'English Prep. Toutes les relations que j'avais nouées se sont révélées vides et à sens unique et je n'ai regretté personne lorsque j'ai été poussée hors du trône, ma couronne brisée à la main. Personne… sauf Eric. Lorsque nous étions enfants, je lui avais offert un bracelet d'amitié. Et avec lui, mon cœur jeune et naïf. Mais tout a changé depuis. La fille d'à côté sympa que j'étais est devenue froide et distante. Il me déteste. Et je ne peux même pas lui en vouloir. Eric est persuadé que je l'ai rejeté à cause de mon statut à English Prep.

We were from two completely different worlds: I was molded to follow the rules; I was the good girl living the sheltered life at St. Mary's Boarding School. But fate brought us together. Somewhere along the way, following the rules became a choice. The lines became blurred, and I was given a taste of rebellion in a package of wild blue eyes and hot, lingering touches. Our plan was set. I would escape St. Mary's, and he would stay. Isaiah warned me that we'd go up in flames if we veered from our plan. Except there was no we about it. Isaiah Underwood let me fall right into the ashes.

I swore off men the second I trusted the wrong guy and ended up pregnant by a wealthy playboy. I was ready to prove I didn't need him--or anyone else. At least, until Malaki Young, Chicago's hottest pro hockey star, slid into the backseat of my car and proved me wrong. He's relentless on and off the ice. Especially when it comes to pursuing me. Not to mention his charming smirk and annoyingly smooth one-liners have me testing the ice and thawing every boundary I swore I'd never cross again.

I’ve been making rational decisions my entire life. If someone is in need, I’m there. My Nana needs help with the bills? I’ll drop out of art school and secure a well-paying job. Someone needs the shirt off my back? They can have mine. When the league's most desirable bachelor and single dad needs a nanny that can look past his star power and won’t end up in his bed, I’m the perfect choice.

I never would have moved to Chicago, if I had known he would be there. Moving to a brand new city to share an apartment with my older brother was bad enough. Becoming neighbors with Kane Barlow, my brother’s arrogant pro-hockey-playing best friend, was just the cherry on top of the dumpster fire my life has become. Did I mention that Kane is also the guy I had a secret fling with years ago? I haven't seen him since and let’s just say his icy glares and frigid demeanor are reason enough for me to get my own place.

We couldn’t have been more opposite. I was molded to break the rules. My life was seeded in corruption at St. Mary's Boarding School. Fate brought us together, and we formed a plan. I gave her that taste of rebellion, and she became mine. She was my kryptonite. I was her escape, and her trust was in me.

There's nothing wrong with playing the game--except when you know you're about to lose. As a little girl, I dreamed of becoming many things. A twenty-five-year-old photographer struggling to make ends meet with a mountain of legal fees wasn't one of them. Making questionable decisions wasn't either. After hanging up my camera, I start a job I loathe that has me questioning my morals on a daily basis. Until I run into Chicago's newest bad-boy goalie whose reputation is a trainwreck--Emory Olson.

Loving her was like breathing air—it was hard to live without. Journey Smith was quiet and guarded, and above all else, beautiful. When we were alone, I grew to know the girl behind the stormy eyes. Her hesitant touches and hidden smiles were reserved for me, but now they're gone. Stolen moments of happiness were replaced with sharp barbs and fiery glares concealing her fear. Our past was written in the stone of St. Mary’s—a past that I was not willing to repeat. But what I assumed to be the truth was nothing more than a fabrication of such.

I overhear their bet—who can get Coach's daughter in their bed first? I'm ready to bring the entire Bexley U hockey team to their knees. Instead of fleeing, I flirt. Instead of hiding, I run just so they'll chase me. Luring my father's players into a trap has a certain appeal to it. Except, Aasher isn't fooled by my feigned temptation. He has too much riding on a perfect season and has plans to join the NHL after winning the Frozen Four.

He's my best friend's brother, and he's completely deranged. Dark, disturbed, and hell-bent on making my life as his new tutor an actual living nightmare, he's the enemy I should shy away from. Secrets are locked behind my red lips, just as his are concealed by his pressed tie and crisp school uniform. We are more alike than either of us are willing to admit. Tobias says heartless boys never kiss... But he kissed me.

On m'a arrachée à Wellington Prep sans prévenir, comme si ma vie pouvait être déplacée d'un lycée élitiste à un autre d'un simple claquement de doigts. Notre histoire n'a rien d'innocent, et surtout rien d'achevé. Ce que nous avons laissé derrière nous, ce que nous avons enterré, ne disparaît pas aussi facilement. Je croyais qu'en restant invisible, je pourrais éviter le passé. Mais Ollie n'a jamais été du genre à laisser les choses là où elles se sont arrêtées.

Aasher Matthews incarne tout ce que je déteste, avec son sourire narquois et sa manière de se prendre pour le roi du monde. Pour couronner le tout, il joue au hockey. Pire, mon père est son coach... Et j’aimerais bien savoir pourquoi Aasher est si tendu. Il me suit partout, il me surveille... Je suis sûre que mon père a quelque chose à voir avec ça ! Que les choses soient claires : on ne touche jamais à la fille du coach. Jamais. Pourtant, ça n’a pas empêché ses joueurs de lancer un pari débile sur qui réussira à me mettre dans son lit en premier.
