The Golden Boys by Rachel Jonas & Nikki Thorne (Paperback)

West Golden. So easy to hate, yet so hard to resist. The Golden Boys is the first book in Rachel Jonas and Nikki Thorne’s Kings of Cypress Pointe series, a dark high school bully romance with all the Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill vibes.

Don’t let that pretty face fool you. West isn’t the boy next door, nor the kind you’d ever trust with your heart. He’s the devil in designer jeans, with all the charm of a bona fide psycho. He swears our heroine, Blue Riley, did something to cross him before she’d even set foot inside Cypress Prep, but it’s a lie. No one knows better than Blue that she’s all out of second chances; one more misstep and she can kiss her future goodbye. Which means she can’t possibly be guilty of whatever it is he thinks she’s done.

West marks her with a target anyway, and as this town’s untouchable football star, no one dares cross him. His money, his status and the fierce loyalty of his equally entitled brothers make him seem invincible. But Blue knows better. Every time she stares into those devilish green eyes, she spots the one chink in his armour, his single weakness. Her. The King of Cypress Prep has finally met his match, and taking him down just became an inside job.

Please note this is an 18+ read containing strong bully themes. Perfect for readers who love a dark enemies-to-lovers bully romance, an unapologetically alpha hero and a fierce heroine determined to bring a false god to his knees.
