I didn’t ask for the hand life dealt me.
I didn’t ask for my mom to die, leaving me alone in the
world.
I didn’t ask for my estranged aunt to take me in, thrusting
me into the lions den.
I certainly didn’t ask to be tossed into Brighton Academy.
Yet, here I am.
They think I want their money, but that couldn’t be further
from the truth.
They think they know who I am, but they are wrong.
They think they can run me out of this town, but you can’t
scare someone who has nothing to lose. They underestimate me, but who am I to
walk away from a good fight?

Excerpt
“Reed,” I warn.
“Yes?” His voice is
tinged with humor.
“I think your
pancakes are burning.” 
“That’s okay. I made
plenty, and I quite like where I am.” He laughs while moving a tiny bit closer,
his chest flush with my back as he trails his hands softly down my sides.
“Are you excited to
see me, Reed?” I tease while trying to cover up how turned on I am.
“It’s those
thigh-high socks. Who knew they could be so sexy?” he teases right back.
“Reed? We’re not
doing this,” I warn.
“We will, just not
today. But you better get used to the idea of us, Sage, because we’re going to
happen,” he states before kissing my neck. He pushes off me and goes back to
the pancakes.

Review

Still healing from the loss of her mother Sage has been unable to find a new place to call home but in a few months she will be 18 and able to make her own choices and decisions. Finding out that an aunt she doesn’t know is willing to take her in brings a lot of changes and not all of them good.

Reed has known a life of wealth and privilege and holds the balance of power in Brighton Academy. He has taken a personal interest in Sage however not in a good way, but he and his supporters are about to find out that even though she is in pain she is nobody’s punching bag.

There is so much more to Reed then the arrogant bully he appears to be, but he has more than met his match in Sage and it was fun watching the shift in their relationship as it progressed.
