She's one thing I never knew I wanted. And the more I fall, the more it's going to hurt when I break her.

Being a Wolfe sucks.

I got expelled from my university and was forced to enroll in Crestwood.

Apparently, it's my last chance.

Not to mention my father is insisting I get married.

I had a fiancée...before she was stolen from me by Levi fucking Kennedy.

He ruined my life.

And now?

Now, I intend to ruin his.

And I'm going to do it by ruining her.

Rika Kennedy is young, naive, and innocent. She looks up at me with those big green eyes like I'm a god.

It's going to be so damn easy to make her fall in love with me.

To force her into a situation where she has to marry me.

And then I'm going to break her heart.

And it'll be all Levi's fault.

As long as I keep to the plan.

As long as I don't do something stupid like fall in love with her.

Rika

Graduating from high school early and leaving home is the best thing that's ever happened to me.

Now, I get to be away from my family...away from my mother.

I can finally be independent...I can finally be free.

Except my older brother still treats me like a kid.

It doesn't matter that I graduated at the top of my class, that I'm eighteen, that I can make my own choices.

Like dating Sawyer Wolfe.

I'm not an idiot.

I know he has a reputation.

But there's something about him...something alluring, something dangerous...and something more.

Something he doesn't let everyone else see.

I know there's more to him than what people say.

And he's showing me, little by little.

It could mean nothing, but...

But I'd like to think there's more to Sawyer than that.

In fact, I know there is.

Maybe Sawyer will break my heart.

But maybe...maybe he won't.

And at this point, it's my choice who I give my heart...and my body to. I can only hope he doesn't shatter me completely.
