Verona

After I came home from college, I promised myself two things: no more boyfriends and no more unvetted clients. Men are nothing but drama.

When the motorcycle club holds a bachelor auction to help my brother with his medical bills, I'm surprised to see fear on Hollywood's face. A couple of pushy girls won't leave him alone, so I make it my mission to keep him safe.

I tell everyone I hate him; sometimes I mean it. But Hollywood and I complement each other more than I thought, and it's positively filthy.


Hollywood

I realized my life was heading nowhere fast after almost dying last summer, so I made a vow of celibacy to work on myself. I want more out of my life than meaningless encounters.

When Verona outbids everyone at the bachelor auction, I can't believe it. She's my best friend's little sister and the president's daughter. I can never enact the twisted things I've been thinking.

She says she hates me, and it's the hottest thing I've ever heard.
