Savage Academy

I have one simple rule: no boyfriends until graduation. I'm too close to my goal of landing a full ride to college to get distracted now. Besides, I blend in better at the skate park than I do in the hallowed halls of Savage Academy, a boarding school for the rich and overprivileged, so staying away from guys hasn't been a problem. Until him.

Rhys Astor, the guy with a deadly smirk and devil-may-care attitude, is the sole witness to one of the most embarrassing moments of my life. But even worse, now he's suddenly intrigued by me, which is confusing because until now, he couldn't be bothered to remember my name. Dorothy, Donatella, Danielle… no, it's Delilah, you unhinged prat. I don't want his attention. If I had my way, we'd go on avoiding each other for the rest of our lives, but again, the universe is conspiring against me. Rhys is the captain of the fencing team, and I'm the new manager.

Rules are my favorite. Order relaxes me. Tattooed boys with shaggy hair and soulful eyes are strictly off-limits. I've recently come to the conclusion I'm bad at boyfriends. But as terrible as I am at choosing them, even I would never consider my sister's former crush—tall, growly, enigmatic Ivan Sokolov. That's a line I won't cross, even if Delilah is way over him. Ivan is just my swim teammate. The guy who walks me to class and shares his playlists. And he's the person who keeps stealing my study room.
