I loathe Micah Reed. Yet, I can’t keep my eyes off him.

Years ago, he opened his mouth in a room full of our peers. Said nine words and ruined my life.
My high school crush did exactly that… crushed me.

But I am no longer the quiet, loner girl from high school. The girl who let others trample her spirit.
Now, I take charge. Stand tall. Bend to no one. Never again.
Especially Micah Reed.

Peyton Alexander makes me question my sanity. Yet, I refuse to stop antagonizing her.

Since her first day at work, she has given me the death glare. Lipped off and verbally slapped me.
And every night, I go back for another round.

Not sure what I did to deserve her animosity, but I plan to find out. Plan to fix whatever mistake I made.
Although I live for her banter, I want more with Peyton. The attention she gives other men, I want it for myself.
Call me presumptuous, but Peyton Alexander will be mine.

Micah wants me because I don’t fall for his charms.
Peyton resists to deny herself the truth.

Will he figure out who I am?
Will she ever let me in?
