Top 5 reasons I should stay away from Crispin Dalton: 1. He's been bullying me since the day I started at Wildwood Academy, the prestigious high school for young elites 2.

There's a scandal tying our families together in the most awful way, and his whole family hates me because of it 4. He's so far out of my league, he might as well be wearing a sign that says 'Don't look, touch or fantasize about me... or else' 5. He's kind of, sort of, dating my best friend... We've come a long way since being co-stars on my TV show. The boy I used to crush on obsessively isn't the nice guy anymore. No, he's the mean, cruel, evil bully who's dead set on ruining my life.

And as it turns out, little old me can't resist a bully with a heart of gold. This is a full-length novel, part of the Lords of Wildwood series. Can be read as a standalone.
