THE BASKETBALL DEVIL IS OBSESSED WITH THE UGLY GIRL

18+ warning! Fate didn’t just give Loreen Cole bad cards — it completely forgot she existed and handed her leftovers. Born to the most beautiful prostitute in the district and raised in a rundown tramp house, with a mother who would sell her for peanuts, Loreen learned early: survival comes first, everything else comes later. So she became invisible — a straight-A student with one goal: escape her small town and never look back... and for a while, it worked. Iowa’s golden boy — Cade Morrison, star basketball player, the most popular boy in school, starts to notice her. She can see in his eyes that he wants to have her, and she feels it in the way he keeps catching her stare like a stalker every time she turns around. She avoids him. He doesn't stay away. Until she made one mistake. She shattered his hand before the most important game of the season. Now, she’s enemy number one. Everyone in school — the whole state — knows her name, and they want revenge. And Cade... won’t take his eyes off her. Desperate to fix her reputation, Loreen tries to stay out of trouble, but trouble keeps finding her. The deeper she’s pulled into Cade’s world, the harder it becomes to tell if she’s in danger or already falling for the one person she should fear the most... because Cole might not be the saint everyone thinks he is. Then, as secrets unravel, threats turn worse, and bodies start dropping, escaping her town becomes the least of her problems— Surviving it is.
