"From the acclaimed author of Happily and Madly,
a lush and sophisticated tale of scandal, greed, love, and revenge
The Mahoney brothers are the golden boys of Rutherford Institute. Theo is popular and beloved.
But he's hiding something. Jasper is studious and focused. But he isn't as impenetrable as he seems.
Collins Pruitt is going to expose them for who they really are. She will earn their trust—and then
she'll ruin them. Unless she gets what she wants. Even if that means her own secrets may be exposed.
But as she’s pulled further into Theo’s and Jasper’s orbit, she uncovers truths she wasn’t expecting—
truths that make her question why she’s doing this in the first place … and whether it’s possible to
ruin them without also destroying herself."
"Alexis Bass' Happily and Madly is a mature, twisty, compulsively readable YA suspense novel about a young girl who embraces a fate bound in love and mystery. Maris Brown has been told two things about her destiny: 1. She will fall happily and madly in love. 2. She could be dead before she turns eighteen. The summer before that fateful birthday, Maris is in the wealthy beach town of Cross Cove with her estranged father and his new family--and the infamous Duvals. Since the youngest member of the Duval family, Edison, is back from college and back in the arms of Maris's new stepsister, her summer looks to be a long string of lazy days on the Duval's lush beach. But Edison is hiding something. And the more Maris learns about him, the more she's given signs that she should stay as far away from him as possible. As wrong as it is, Maris is drawn to him. Around Edison, she feels truly alive and she's not willing to give that up. Even if it means a collision course with destiny."
