Elliot und Ethan lassen mich nicht gehen.Zumindest nicht, bis ich für meine Sünden bezahlt habe.

In einer kaputten Stadt aufzuwachsen, macht dich nicht zu einem guten Menschen. Tatsächlich hat mich die North Shore abgehärtet.Ich überlebe, weil ich ein guter Soldat bin. Ich bin gelassen, verliere nie meine Ziele aus den Augen und bin davon besessen, unsere Stadt aus den Fängen unserer Erzfeinde, den Kings, zu befreien.Der Plan ist einfach: Ich muss Alexandra Delacroix um den Finger wickeln, belastende Informationen über ihren Vater, den Senator, aufdecken und das Machtgleichgewicht zu unseren Gunsten verschieben.Aber im Gegensatz zu den anderen reichen Mädchen aus Stoneview, die ich als Spielzeug benutze, ist Alexandra freundlich, selbstlos ... süß.Und ehe ich mich versehe, ändern sich meine Prioritäten.
