Now I'm the spitting image of a mother whose legacy I'd rather forget.When I receive an invitation to join my dad and brothers at the prestigious Callatin Academy, I hope it's a chance to be fun and carefree. But instead, I'm thrust into a world of lies and deceit. My small-town upbringing is no match for the world's richest heirs and heiresses, who have no conscience when it comes to getting what they want and no remorse for who they hurt along the way.My only solace is a secret and forbidden relationship. But can I put my future on the line for a man I can't be seen in public with? Is he worth destroying my family's reputation? Maybe I'm destined to follow in my mother's footsteps after all.

I took a chance and accepted the opportunity of a lifetime when I moved to Callatin Academy thousands of miles away from the only home I've ever known. Sure, I'm finally back with my older brothers and my dad but the differences between me and my environment are staggering. I was raised with small-town morals, strong values of honesty, faith, being kind to others, and staying true to myself but all of those things are scoffed at in my new world. I'm still mending a broken heart after my forbidden relationship came to the light of the entire school and with my place here in jeopardy I'm not sure who I can even trust. My confusion drives me right into the arms of the richest and hottest guy, the "King" of Callatin, and begin to see just how addicting this lavish lifestyle can be. Will I survive the catty, backstabbing reality of this elite world with my morals intact or will I succumb to the pressure and turn into someone I despise?

I am head over heels in love with Lance Bowman. We are perfect for each other. Our relationship is no picnic though, as the elitist mentality of my classmates has many of them threatened by me dating an outsider. Lance and I both have dark family secrets that neither of us are ready to share with each other, which makes things even harder for us. The insecurities of my so-called friends and classmates are bleeding over onto me and Lance and a stupid choice changes the trajectory of our lives in a single second. In Lance's desperate need to protect me from his reality, he shoves me away. Will he eventually just trust me? Will we succumb to our combined insecurities or will our love song end in heartbreak?

A car accident has caused my life to be in complete turmoil. My memory is completely gone and I'm not certain it will ever return. My boyfriend, Keller James, is a jerk and I'm having a hard time finding what I ever saw in him. I basically have to relearn everything about my life and Keller is more than happy to fill me in on who I used to be, no matter how unbelievable that is to me. I was in a car accident with some guy named Lance Bowman, he may not survive his injuries and I may never understand why I was in the car with him in the first place. For whatever reason, I feel a connection to Lance and a desperate need to be near him. Keller is doing everything in his power to keep us apart. His threats become reality very quickly. I'm not sure of much, but I'm certain I must heed Keller's warnings and play the part he has cast for me or suffer the consequences.
