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.

Never Underestimate the Power of F--k It. It's the motto I live by, and it's what made me the Navy SEAL I am today. The less you care, the better.

Then they kidnapped Charlotte-my little sister's best friend, and a control freak with a fear of commitment to anything but her ten-year plan. I can't remember what I've supposedly done, or who's trying to kill us.

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.
