No matter where I go or how far I run, he'll always find me.

My parents thought it was a wonderful idea to hook up with a rival family's son, maybe it would bring everyone together.

It didn't. Not even close.

When I tried to break things off I lost everything and everyone. My parents are gone, and now I'm forced to move across the country, to the unknown.

Straight into the arms of Asher Mancini.

Obsessive.

Relentless.

Cruel.

Evil.

Deadly.

Asher

I never planned on finishing my senior year at Blackwood Academy... until Avery Stone showed up.

I don't need to finish up the year I lost. My future is already decided, I'm in charge of the East Coast. Everyone respects and bows at my feet. I may be only 19, but age is only a number, when your life is in my hands.

Avery doesn't realize who she's up against. She thinks of me as a monster, maybe I am. One thing is for certain, I'll never let her go.
