Hope was a cruel mistress
Emerson was fine. She totally had everything under control.So what if her dad had lost all their money, and she couldn’t return to college? Or that he’d married her high school bully’s mom? Who cared if the guy she’d had the most passion-infused night with was now her stepbrother, who now hated her?
Not, Emerson. Nope. Not one bit.
Okay, that was a lie. It sucked.
When she enrolled at Hayward, her bully picked right back up, reminding Emerson of her place—at the bottom.
Emerson might be too curvy, too awkward, and too shy, but she wouldn’t feel bad about it anymore. She’d infiltrate her stepsister’s life and destroy it from the inside out.
She’d make her stepbrother and his best friend crave her.
She’d join the dance team and prove she was the better dancer.
She’d take everything her stepsister valued.
What Emerson hadn’t expected...to fall for not one, but two football players. Could she actually get a happily ever after? Except everyone was hiding secrets, and it was no longer clear who the true villain was.
Each cruel step took her further away from the person and life she wanted. And if she trusted the wrong person… she could end up dead.
