‘I’ll go to the dance, but I won’t enjoy it. I hate you, Drake.’ *Famous last words from a girl who can’t keep her lips to herself…*
‘The game worked perfectly. She’s mine for the taking.’ *Famous last words from a guy who doesn’t know he’s met his match…*
TARRYN
I can’t fall for Drake. *No, I won’t fall for Drake.* I’ll give him a taste of his own medicine. **His bullying days are over.**
Drake Castleton believes he’s a king. He thinks girls exist only for his twisted pleasure and money buys everything. *But it doesn’t buy me.*
There’s a part of me that finds him intriguing. *God help me.* But I won’t give into temptation, no matter what. River Valley’s golden god is going to crumble, and I’m going to be the one holding the sledgehammer.
DRAKE
Tarryn thinks she can resist me. She thinks she knows how to play the game. She doesn’t know the truth though.
**It was never a game.** *Even when I tried to convince myself that’s all it was…* I know now that she means more to me than just another conquest. I want more for us. I want everything.
I don’t know how to make amends, but f**k I’m gonna try. I just hope it isn’t too late.
