The world is full of secrets. Secrets lead to lies. Lies lead to betrayal.
Sue de Vera has only one mission—to graduate from a top school, her mother's last wish for her. She doesn't mind being an outcast in her school. She doesn’t mind the looks everyone gives her, the whispers when she walks down the hallway. That is, not until her grades drop and she loses the scholarship she depends on. When Calliope Mae Alonzo, the mayor’s daughter, survives an assassination attempt, Sue is given the opportunity to continue her studies. The mayor offers her a job and a salary like no other. The job in question: to be Calliope's bodyguard. Now Sue has two missions: to graduate and to keep the mayor’s daughter safe. It wouldn’t have been hard for Sue if Calliope wasn’t the most popular girl in their school. It wouldn’t have been hard if Sue wasn’t the outcast like she is. But what she expects to be difficult doesn’t seem so hard when Calliope acts like she’s been waiting for their interaction this whole time. Things seem to be in her favor, but how can she keep it that way while navigating their differences?
