Synopsis
"This cruel king won't stop until he breaks me. Dutch Cross, lead singer of The Kings, is a monster. Don't let his amber eyes, chiseled jaw line, and crooning voice fool you. He prowls the hallways of Redwood Prep like he owns every inch. Brutal. Untouchable. Beast. And when his golden eyes meet mine, I know I'm his next prey. The monster wants me out of Redwood. No one has ever dared to go against Dutch and his equally gorgeous brothers. I'm honored to be the first. See, the thing about kings and monsters is they always have a weakness. And for Dutch, his weakness... is me. He just doesn't know it yet."--Back cover.
