My name is Mercy James, and I've always had a three-point plan:
•Get through senior year with the best possible grades.
•Get a full-ride scholarship through college.
•Get the hell away from my irresponsible single mother.
I didn’t think this was too much to ask for and I worked damn hard to make it a reality.
For years, everything went according to plan. Sure, I was dragged through several different schools and towns since the age of ten by my emotionally stunted mother, but I was almost there, dammit. I was on the verge of starting senior year in high school and my final year of this plan…
Until my mother went and did the unthinkable!
She only went and got herself knocked up by a man who lives on the other side of the country!
Worse than getting pregnant, mom married the douche.
As if it wasn’t bad enough to uproot my entire life six weeks before senior year, Mom's new husband, Gabe Owens, comes with baggage.
A sweet stepsister, Amelia.
And the b*stard of all b*stards, Rourke.
Rourke is my age and doesn’t want me in his town, much less his home. He's also hell bent on making sure I know it.
Thing is, I don’t want to be there either, and if Rourke Owens expects me to swan in and kiss his ass to make him like me, then he has another thing coming.
I'm nobody's bitch and he's about to learn that.

Holy crap!!!
I couldn't put this book down. It has a fallen crest/Elite/The Royals series feel to it.
More and more books like this are coming out, and you know, I've never gotten bored with one of them.
I felt for Mercy, I really did.
She was thrown into a situation where she had no choice of anything. She didn't get a say, or a who or what.
And not only that, she's spent her whole life looking after her mother that she's fearful when her new husband gets bored of her, she will be the one left holding the baby her mum is carrying.
And I can see why she's fears it. Her mum isn't the best mum whatsoever.
And to top all those fears, she has to start a new school and live with her new step dads kids. One who is her age and hates her.
But their relationship is a love/hate one. The chemistry is off the charts and the ending.... AMAZING.
