St. Mary's Rebels

Calliope Thorne is a good girl. A straight-A student, a rule follower, and an aspiring ballerina. But most of all, she's a good sister to her four older brothers. Brothers whom she loves and adores to pieces. Brothers who love and adore her to pieces in return. And who hate just one and one thing only – Reed Jackson. Rich, arrogant, and the most popular guy at Bardstown High, Reed is Callie's brothers' enemy and she has sworn to stay away from him. Until one night when she wanders into the woods and finds herself in his clutches. A villain with pretty gray eyes and a seductive smirk. Until he asks her to dance for him with a look in those eyes that makes her forget why falling for her brothers' enemy is a bad idea. Note: This is a 39,000-word prequel for A Gorgeous Villain. The story concludes in A Gorgeous Villain.

A standalone novel set in the world of St. Mary's Includes the prequel, The Wild Mustang & The Dancing Fairy Two years ago, Reed Jackson betrayed Calliope Thorne and broke her heart. So she stole his most prized possession – a white Mustang – and drove it into the lake for revenge. Now, Callie is stuck at a reform school while Reed is off at college, living his life without repercussions. Until he comes back. With him comes back all the feelings that Callie has been trying to bury: anger and heartbreak. But most of all, desire. At the sight of his beautiful but lying lips and his gunmetal gray eyes that still taunt and smolder when he looks at her. Whatever, though. It's not as if Callie is ever going to fall for her ex-boyfriend again. Or let him corner her in a bar one night and touch her, kiss her.... Neither is she going to kiss him back. Or worse, sleep with him. Because that would make her naïve and foolish. Oh, and also pregnant. And there's no way Callie is ever going to get pregnant at 18 and with Reed's baby, no less. The guy she hates. The guy who taught her all about heartbreak. Who might look like a gorgeous hero but really is the villain of her story.

Narration by Sarah Puckett and Jason Clarke. Darling Arrow, I shouldn't be writing this. It's not as if I'm ever going to send you this letter, and there are a million reasons why. First of all, I was sent to this reform school as a punishment for a petty, totally inconsequential crime. Not to ogle the principal's hot son around the campus. Second of all, you're a giant jerk. You're arrogant and moody and so cold. Sometimes, I think I shouldn't even like you. But strangely, your coldness sets me on fire. The way your athletic body moves on the soccer field and the way your powerful thighs sprawl across that motorcycle of yours make me go inappropriately breathless. But that's not the worst part. The worst part is that you, Arrow Carlisle, are not only the principal's hot son. You also happen to be the love of my sister's life. And I really shouldn't be thinking about my sister's boyfriend or rather fiancé (I overheard a conversation about the ring that I shouldn't have). Now, if I can only stop writing you these meaningless letters that I'll never send, and you'll never read. Never yours, Salem
