It wasn't supposed to be like this. Evergreen Academy was meant to be my fresh start. My hair was on point. My skin was flawless. And now, I wore the hell out of my clothes instead of hiding them. Even running into Ryder hadn't thrown me. So what if the silver-eyed devil who tormented me for years now ruled my new school with a band of boys everyone called the Knights. The four of them were devastatingly rich, enviously handsome...and heartbreakingly cruel.

It’s a common story. I’m sure you can guess how it goes. Girl winds up in the wrong place at the wrong time. She witnesses four gods of beauty and brutality murder some poor sap, and she’s stupid enough to get caught. Come on. You know what happens next. You know they tracked her...me...down.

It doesn’t feel like the end. It feels like all of my problems are just beginning. There’s more happening in my town of Raven River than I knew. More lies. More secrets. More pain. Enemies seen and unseen are circling, and not even my guardian angels can protect me. There’s a war coming, and I’ll fight because this time my Angels...my Horsemen...my loves...are the ones who need saving.

They are everything to me. I love Jaxson, Ezra, Maverick, and Ryder the same and in vastly different ways all at once. It's a love that threatens to consume me. To take over every waking second of my final year...if only hidden enemies, ancient secret societies, and unsolved murders weren't also competing for my attention. This will be my hardest term yet. Not just for the horror of the present, but for the uncertainty of my future. How can I have a life with my knights when someone is determined that I don't survive my senior year at all? But I will find them. I will expose them.

I'm losing control. I can't stop now. I can't undo what I've done. I came here for one purpose, but I may lose what is most important in the process. And if someone has their way, I will lose everything else. The balance of power is shifting. What began as peaceful protests are spiraling into something more dangerous...even deadly. The Elite Class can't stop what's coming next, but I've sacrificed everything to be one of them. What will my boys have to sacrifice for me?

Decades ago, three men started a war.... Today, I win it. I had a plan. Step one: Steal the ledger. Step two: Take over Cinco City. Simple, right? Nowhere in there was I supposed to fall in love with the men who knocked my plan off course. Saint, Cash, Brutal, and Mercer are everything to me. A fact I should not have let slip. A battle rages, and only the last man standing claims victory.

The Brotherhood has us in their sights. The attacks are coming from everywhere and nowhere from a seemingly invisible enemy. When we discover how the Brotherhood manages to stay five steps ahead, it’s up to me to find and stop the traitor. But it requires me to revisit a place I swore I’d never go: my past. The battle for the city we love is heating up. The Brotherhood challenges the Merchants’ right to rule, and Genny and the Savage Princes don’t give a f--k. Cinco is theirs and they’ll fight to the death to protect it. And me…well, I just might be their secret weapon.

There’s more behind my sister’s death than I knew. Secrets she was determined I never learn, and she’s not the only one. Someone is watching. They’re waiting for me to make my move, and bring me down for good. But how is a girl supposed to find one bad royal in a group of spoiled, twisted rich brats that spread bad on their strawberry crepes every morning for breakfast? I don’t know, but I definitely don’t do it by getting distracted by my hot professor who can’t stay away. Or the infuriating fiancé who keeps making me smile in between pissing me off.

The time is coming that everyone will have to make a choice: their homes, their loves, or their lives. I made my choice for the Bedlam Boys in every way that matters. But when the time comes and the old bells of Bedlam chime for war a second time, will Cairo, Arsenio, Jacques, Legend, and Roan choose me?

Life has never been worse. The Phantom who haunted my nightmares turned out to be bigger, badder, and deadlier than I ever knew was possible. My guys are in hiding. My allies are enemies. And I have nowhere to turn.

A secret lies at the heart of this town. At the heart of my tragedies. And I won’t stop until I find the truth. Unfortunately, I can’t count all the obstacles in my way. The battle between the Crows and Bedlam Boys is heating up.

The only thing I know for sure is I don’t know anything at all. Zeta Rho Sigma was never just a sorority and I was never really in control. A point they drove home when they toppled the final chess piece. The man I love is gone. A wall of silence and blank faces surround me. Every day I sense I’m getting tangled tighter in someone’s web. I will find the truth.

The more answers I unearthed, the less I understood. I stepped into this game not knowing the rules, and now, they’re playing me to their beat. Old faces reappear. New friends circle. I got closer to the puppeteer as they got ever closer to me. And when they struck, I wasn’t ready.

I don't know the secrets that lurk within my sorority, and apparently neither does anyone else. My search for the truth behind the disappearances meets with blank stares and pleas of innocence. But someone knows. They're watching. They're waiting. They're hiding. They're attacking the man I love. The only way to put an end to it is to bend the Sallys to my will. I'm taking over and hunting the kidnappers down. Before the next person to disappear is me.

Evergreen Academy was supposed to be my fresh start……and Somerset University my second chance. All I wanted was normal. Normal classes. Normal professors. Normal sorority. I wanted the Somerset Sallys to be like every other Greek house. I wanted the pretty, fun, sweet sisters to be genuine. I wanted the smile of their enigmatic leader not to conceal a secret. And I wanted the story they told me to be true. I should have known that was too much to ask.
