Endgame

My name is Mercy James and I've always had a three-point plan.

1. Don't fall in love in high-school.

2. Get through senior year and snag a full-ride scholarship to college.

3. Get the hell away from my irresponsible mother.

I didn't think that was too much to ask for, and I've worked damn hard to make it a reality. Until my mother went and did the unthinkable! She's pregnant. Yep, the woman-child only went and got herself knocked-up by a man who lives on the other side of the country.

As if it wasn't bad enough to uproot my life six weeks before senior year, Mom's new beau comes with baggage.

A sweet stepsister, Amelia.

And the b*stard of all b*stards, Rourke.

Rourke is a senior like me, and he 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 expects me to swan in and kiss his ass to make him like me, he has another thing coming. I'm nobody's bitch and he's about to learn that....
