Born on the poor side of town…
Ballerina Dovey Beckham is a scholarship student
at Briarcrest Academy, determined to prove she’s more than just a girl with the
wrong pedigree. She does whatever it takes to succeed in her endgame, even if
it means surrendering her body…but never her heart.
Until the day she meets him, and he rips apart
all her well-laid plans. Suddenly, the girl everyone thought unbreakable might
just shatter.
Born into wealth and privilege…

secrets from the world.
Until the day he meets her, and she offers him
something he’s never tasted…love.
But once in a lifetime kind of love doesn’t come
easy. When trust crumbles and
doubts creep in, both will have to decide to either love or let go…forever.
Welcome to Briarcrest Academy, where sometimes,
only the wicked survive.
HERE IT IS!
ISN'T IT SO FREAKING PRETTY!?

Cuba’s POV
Not exactly a meet-cute…
The room closed in, making me sweat. I
hadn’t talked to her in over a year, and now here we were, face-to-face. Two
ex-lovers who hated each other.
I had to get away from her.
Dovey tilted her head as I stood, giving me
a scathing glare. “Leaving so soon? Yeah, go ahead, cut and run. Coward.”
I ignored her and tried to get Weinstein’s
attention, to let her know she could flunk me for all I cared.
“Before you go, tell me one thing, and I’ll
make sure we aren’t partners in this class. You’ll be free of me,” she said.
“What?” I asked, my voice going all raspy, blocking
all the words I wanted to say. They weren’t things she ever needed to hear.
“Why so cruel to me? You aren’t to the other
girls you date and dump. Why single me out?”
I seethed. “And it didn’t take you long to
find someone else, now did it? How is Spider? Does he get you hot like I did?”
She smirked. “He’s fine. He thinks I hung
the moon. He thinks you’re an ass. I agree.”
I tightened my fists and pressed them
against my thighs, swearing to myself I wasn’t responding to her bait. I swore.
She was a dangerous game I didn’t need to play.
Suddenly, her face fell. Was she recalling
the last time we were together? Was she remembering how I used to…
“I trusted
you,” she whispered, all her anger seeming to be gone. The unsteadiness of her
voice undid me, sent me right over the edge of that precarious cliff I’d been
hanging on to by the skin of my teeth.
Yeah, she hadn’t been the only one who’d
trusted me. I’d ruined them all. Every last one. Dark thoughts assaulted me, of
the blood I had on my hands.
Snap! My pencil broke and small pieces flew
across my desk and into the empty space between us.
I wanted to pummel my desk until my fists
bled. I wanted to punch a hole through the wall, the floor, my face.
Everything was my fault. Just mine.
She’d been collateral damage, the kind that
breaks everyone involved. And I was sorry for it, but sometimes you do what
hurts because it’s for the best.
But she was my kryptonite, leaving me no
option but to hurt her. Again.
I
didn’t think about my cruel words, I just said them. “You were a curiosity,
Dovey. You weren’t the usual BA girl, and I wanted a taste. That’s all. I moved
on when it got boring. Get over it
