Demi Crawford was Magnolia Falls royalty.

I was the boxer from the wrong side of the tracks.

She was the epitome of everything good, while I was broody and rebellious.

We couldn't be more different.

Her family was enemy number one which made her guilty by association.

I despised her before I even knew her.

It was easier that way.

But now she'd moved in next door to me, and she was everywhere I turned.

I couldn't avoid her no matter how hard I tried.

She was beautiful and honest and sweet.

Everything I knew I shouldn't want.

Shouldn't need.

They say there's a fine line between love and hate-and I don't know when I crossed over.

I was so wrapped up in this girl I couldn't see straight.

She was the right hook I never saw coming.

Hating her was supposed to be my end game.

Loving her... well, that was just the beginning.

But the secrets that lived between us threatened to tear us apart.

Lucky for her-I was a born fighter.

And she was definitely worth the fight.
