Guess who's back? And you thought the trouble was over. Not with this group.

Mads

What's it like to date the school flirt? The partier? The heartbreaker? The manwhore?

Micah Bradford is all the above, yet so much more. And you know what? I f*cking love all those traits about him. Screw those who doubt us.

Micah

Rules don't apply to us, but there's always one A-hole who didn't get the memo. Sterling Weston thinks Kingsley University is his campus to run. He's used to getting what he wants, and for whatever reason, he has his sights set on what's mine. Mads Clarke. And that is a big f*cking problem for me.

But if I don't rein in my temper, I'm looking at more than just suspension or expulsion from college. Not that that's ever stopped any of the Elite before. No one takes what's ours.

Trigger warnings: sexual assault, drugs, drinking, swearing.
