Bringing Down the Star by Joanna Mazurkiewicz

Tori Watson knew she didn’t belong. Afterall, she grew up without money, status, or social power. The only reason why she’s even in that town was because her father decided to kill her mother just before she finished college. With just a year left, she made it her goal in surviving the last two semesters without getting involved with anyone in this pretentious town.

It’s too bad the person who owns the school didn’t get the message.

Colten Fitzgerald has it all—money, status, and social power. People throw themselves at him left and right in hopes to even be noticed by him. Yet, the only person that doesn’t is exactly the person he had taken an interest in. He wants her because he’s different and her attitude is exactly what he wants to break. He’ll stop at nothing to get her to yield and fear him like the rest of the town.

Too bad Tori won’t give up without a fair fight.
