"Whip-smart… A thrilling romp from start to finish."-Jessica Goodman New York Times bestselling author of They Wish They Were Us
Alyson is a romantic, and sometimes it gets her into trouble. Like last summer, she thought her co-worker was into her, when in reality he found her flirting pathetic.
Then she meets Brenton Riggs Jr. , and right away she knows that their connection isn't just in her head. When he swoops in to save her one night from a less than savory party encounter, she falls head-over-heels. Finally, someone Alyson likes who likes her back!
But when she finds out about the King's Cup-a competition the guys at their boarding school started to see who has the most sexual prowess-she's put on edge. Does Brenton really want to be with her, or is he just trying to win? Then Alyson and the other girls at the school start a competition of their own: The Queen's Cup. It's all about reclaiming their power. But as the competition heats up, Alyson's relationship begins to fall apart-and it isn't long before the cracks in her perfect love story start to show through.
