From dark romance author Lorrain Allen comes a high school bully romance about the town's football God and the girl who doesn't back down.

Maverick's bigot father raised him to be a racist.

The moment he sees me—the biracial new girl—an invisible target is placed on my back.

Before the first day of school, he turns most of the senior class against me.

Maverick thought I would roll over and take his abuse, never anticipating a battle.

He was mistaken.

I will fight until my last breath.

Maverick and his friends can suck it.

When I don't fold under pressure, he comes at me full force, wanting to destroy me.

He never expected to be the one to fold.
