Saint View High, #1

“Everybody lies, Princess. Some of us are just better at not getting caught.”
​
He murdered my uncle then covered it with fire. A fire that should have killed me, too. Instead, he hauled me from the floor while flames licked the walls, strong arms holding me close.
​
He saved my life.
​
Now I want to know why. I never saw his face. All I know is the letters on his shirt. SVH.
​
Saint View High.
​
The worst school in a hundred miles. Full of drugs and despair. Breeding ground for future criminals. Armed security guards and weapon checks at every door.
A far cry from my privileged life of money, private school, and fancy vacations.
With the police doing nothing, I take matters into my own hands. I enroll in a school I have no business being at.
​
But the Untouchables are quick to let me know exactly how big a mistake I’ve made. They’re the group of boys even the teachers are scared of.
Colt. Banjo. Rafe.
​
Every teenage girl’s dream. Good looking. Popular. Powerful.
And determined to break me.
​
Thing is, I’m not that easily broken. And I’m coming for them, too.
Devious Little Liars is the story of three bad boys and a girl who knows how to stand her ground. It is a mature high school/new adult, #whychoose romance, meaning the main character has more than one love interest. This book contains enemies-to-lovers and bullying themes. It is the first book in an ongoing trilogy.

Excerpt
​
Colt cocked his head to one side, eyes narrowing. “And what exactly did you come here for? A little wrong-side-of-the-tracks cock? You sick of all your pretty boys and their fancy cars, flashing around their daddy’s money? I can give you that.”
​
I shoved him away. “You’re disgusting.”
​
He laughed, and my breath hitched at the sound. “Say it like you mean it.”
​
I didn’t say anything. For the life of me, I tried. But my mouth refused to form the words.
​
His grin turned devilish, and dammit if it didn’t just make him all the more attractive. His intelligent eyes gleamed, like this little game of cat and mouse entertained him.
​
I spun back to face the line, startled to find it had progressed without me noticing. I stepped forward, but Colt wouldn’t give me an inch. If anything, he moved in closer, until his front pressed against my back. I stilled. Every muscle in my body froze at his touch. Alarm bells went off in my head, and yet, the rest of my body wanted to melt into him like a Goddamn ice cream on a summer day.
​
His fingers swept the back of my neck, brushing my hair aside. Like they had a mind of their own, my eyes closed.
​
Behind me, he shifted so his lips brushed my ear. “I’ll break you, princess. You and your ivory tower.”
