THEA
One wrong move
and it’s over.
I was invisible
until I wasn’t.
One mistyped
number became the catalyst to my hell on earth when I accidentally sent a
risqué photo to the blackmail king of Silver Lake High. Now Connor Bishop holds
it as a bargaining chip over my head. I’ve become his doll, at his mercy in a
corrupt castle.
Better do as he
says or else, or else, or else…
His thumb is on
the send button every time I try to buck his command. Can I survive a private
photo going viral instead of living this life of torment?
It’s not right.
Maybe it’s time his castle burns down.
CONNOR
Secrets and
favors built my throne.
Meek. Shy.
Wholesome.
Thea Kennedy was
picture-perfect innocence until she wasn’t. The unexpected photo is the
juiciest secret to land in my lap in a while. Who knew she was hiding luscious
curves under frumpy sweaters?
With one racy
selfie, Thea stepped into my world, where I control the board. I’ll trap the
little mouse and won’t let her escape the depraved kingdom I built.
But there are
darker monsters than me lurking in the shadows. They want to take a bite out of
my little mouse. I don’t like sharing what’s mine.
I absolutely loved
this book. Every girl in the world has struggled with confidence at one time or
another and sometimes hides their true self because of it. In this book, that's exactly what Thea is dealing with. Imagine having those issues and sending out
a text while showing your true self for it to only fall into the hands of your
nemesis at school. Yep, you guessed it that's what happens to poor Thea only to
have it used as blackmail by the king of all blackmailers ... Connor Bishop.
While trying to dig up more dirt on Thea
Bishop, comes across some disturbing information. However, in the process of trying to
blackmail her, he also wants to become her protector and save her while his
feelings start to grow. But, will Thea be able to forgive his betrayal of her
trust before the danger gets to her?
“You’re still
not forgiven. I’m only here because you’re blackmailing me. I wouldn’t come
near you otherwise.
“You certainly
were ready to come all over me before.” The glare I direct at him drops the
temperature in the car by a few degrees. He blows out a slow, strained breath
and grips the wheel with both hands. “Okay. Whatever. Noted.”
We ride in
silence for a long stretch. The drive to school isn’t long, and I realize I’m wasting
a good opportunity for the details I’m desperate for.
“So what’s our
deal? Or rather, your deal that I have no choice but to accept because the
alternative is…yeah, no thanks. Asshole.” I shift a little to face him better
as we drive through Ridgeview, turning onto the tree-lined road that leads up
to the school. “When did we get together? How did it happen?”
Connor cuts a
look at me from the corner of his eye. “We’ll keep it simple so it’s easy to
remember. We’ve grown up as neighbors. Got together over summer or something.
You’re the girl next door, what’s not to like about that?”
I frown as he
hitches a shoulder. “That’s unimaginative.”
Amusement
crosses his face. “We could always use the true version: you sent me a wrong
number nude and I was like aight.”
“You ass! We are
not using that. And I wasn’t naked.”
“Yet. Shortly
after?” Connor hums, shifting in the driver’s seat. “So gloriously naked.”
With a
scandalized squeal, I swat his arm, overwhelmed by his proximity and what he’s
saying. He drives me to things I never do.
He laughs. The
corner of his mouth tugs up in a crooked grin as he turns the wheel with the
heel of his palm, entering the student parking lot.
“You want a
whirlwind romance, or something? I’m just trying to make it easy. It’s not like
it’s real.”
The words slice
me and I suck in a pained gasp.
It’s not real.
Right.
For as big as
his SUV is, I’m suffocated by being so near to him while my emotions spiral.
Connor is my
first actual boyfriend, but it’s all fake.
