Counter Bet by Harleigh Beck (Paperback)

A Dark High School Romance.

Counter Bet by Harleigh Beck follows a girl who seems to have everything—until control begins to slip.
Emily Brooks rules Hedgewood High. Head cheerleader, dating the star quarterback, and set to claim homecoming queen, her life looks perfect.
But it is all carefully constructed.
Behind the image, cracks are forming. The pressure to maintain control is growing, and the mask she wears is becoming harder to hold in place.

Then Ben and Dallas arrive.

Outsiders with nothing to lose, they turn their attention to Emily and set a plan in motion. What begins as a game quickly becomes something darker, pulling her into a situation she cannot fully control.

She is no longer leading. She is being played.
As tension builds, boundaries begin to blur. Right and wrong lose their meaning, replaced by choices driven by desire, risk, and curiosity.
Emily is forced to question who she really is beneath the surface.

In a world built on status and illusion, stepping outside the lines may cost everything.
