A Deal With The Devil

The Devil Hides in Plain Sight...



He was my childhood crush. I was his best friend's little sister.



I had no idea that when I got into a stolen car with Reynolds McAllister, it would cause me a lifetime of pain.



Physical.

Emotional.

Chemical.



There's no escaping my injuries from that night. I can cover the scars, but the limp in my leg is a constant reminder of what he did to me. The law may have punished him for his crime, but there's only one thing that's managed to help me function; a steady, addictive stream of painkillers.





Stealing is what Reyn McAllister does. Objects, cars, hearts.



Or I did, until I was sent away for breaking Vandy Hall.



I spent three long, hard years paying for my crime; first at juvie, then at military school. It wasn't nearly long enough, but now I'm returning home to Preston Prep and to my childhood home next door to the girl I never meant to hurt.



It should be easy for us to avoid one another. We have nothing in common, except her brother and a single tragic night. But, when an opportunity arises at Preston to revive the Devils, we make a deal that will seal our fate once and for all.



Sometimes, the person you know the best is the one who's hurt you most.
