I’ve spent the past year plotting my revenge and imagining all the wicked things I’d do to her when our paths finally crossed again. I just had no idea it would be so soon. The last thing I expected when I reentered the world was to find myself right in the middle of hers. The girl who betrayed me, the snitch who ruined me - here for the taking. While she’s been oblivious here in Rosewood, I’ve been trapped in hell. Better watch your back, Harley Hunter. You’re about to be owned by a Legend.

She was my best friend. The person I told my deepest secrets to. But when my world came crashing down, it was all because of her family. From that moment, I realized I’d been wrong to trust her. Her big caring eyes and sweet face were nothing but an act as she’d watched on while I tried to keep my head above water. That was our past. Now, I’ve largely put Camila behind me and moved on with my life. Though it doesn’t explain why she’s always there: Taunting me, tempting me, showing me the life I could have been living.

When something seems too good to be true. It’s usually because it is. A lesson I learned the hard way. Every single fear I had about falling for Leon, has just come true in the most brutal way. The sweet guy act he’s been putting on the past few weeks is over. The cold, hard truth is...he never wanted me. He only wanted retaliation. And like a fool, I played right into his wicked scheme. But I’m not the monster he thinks I am.

Everyone thinks they know me...but they’re wrong. Fearless on the outside - a lie. I’m a fraud, hiding behind a mask of perfection. My reality very different. The captain. The leader. The Queen Bee. None of it real - all just an illusion. Perception is everything and I use it to get what I want, when I want, refusing to let anyone stand in my way. Until he shows me that he’s not the man I expected. He’s not just the quiet one...the innocent one. But the one to finally tear away the mask and look beneath the surface.

I may be back in my hometown and down on my luck, but I know better than to fall for Lyric again. Been there. Done that. Have the heartbreak to show for it. When my business and apartment burn down, there’s only one thing I can do—return to my hometown of Winter Falls with my tail tucked between my legs. I won’t be here long, though. As soon as the insurance company decides I didn’t start the fire—one little accidental fire to get out of a math test does not make me an arsonist!—and cuts me a check for the damage, I’m out of here.
