Remington Stringer has never been like most girls. She’s outspoken and brazen and wants nothing more than to escape the Nevadan hell hole she calls home. On the brink of eighteen, with a deceased mother and a well-meaning, yet absent father, she’s been forced to fend for herself. The only person she’s ever been able to depend on is her borderline obsessive step brother. But even that anchor is quickly becoming a loose cannon. So when she gets the opportunity to attend the best private school in the state during her senior year of high school, she jumps at the chance. She meets Mr. James there. He’s ornery, aloof, and totally irresistible. Most girls would swoon in secrecy. Most girls would doodle his name with hearts in their notebook. But Remi Stringer has never been like most girls.

Evangeline Thorne is privileged, beautiful, and popular, if not a little jaded. But then a chance encounter with a green-eyed stuntman sets off a chain of events that turns her perfect little world upside down. Short on options and desperate for adventure, she joins a traveling carnival for the summer. Thrust into a world full of drama, deception, and secrecy, she tries to find herself and protect her heart in the process. Sebastian McAllister is cursed. He knows better than to think otherwise. He’s content to live out the rest of his life traveling the country as one of the four Sons of Eastlake, seeking thrills the only way he knows how. The one thing he doesn’t see coming is the spoiled blonde with stars in her eyes. The only problem is that the more time he spends with her, the more hope starts to stir in his dormant heart. Too bad hope is a dangerous thing when you’re a McAllister.
