Her connection with Brenton Riggs Jr., a star athlete at her elite prep school, isn't just in her head. She's swept up in her first real relationship. Then she hears the rumors about a competition the Sullivan-Stewart guys started to see who can get with the most girls. It's deeply disturbing . . . if it's true.

Lies, secrets, backstabbing . . . when push comes to shove, who'll be left standing
