In the small town of Crescent Rock, located in the most southern dip of North Carolina, high school senior and head of the cheerleading squad QUINN MCPHERSON leads a life...almost like the majority of her peers all over the country. Ruling her school with a firm hand, always followed by an entourage of personality-lacking wanna-bes dying to be just like her, Quinn takes the control she's always had over her life and those in it as a given. Her word is obeyed, followed to the point and never challenged.Until one night sends her perfectly structured life into a tailspin - literally.As her car threatens to spin off the road, Quinn is saved in the last moment by a handsome new-comer who - as she soon discovers - is more than human, and his presence in town is not a coincidence. Although he's never met her, ARNAUD DE LA ROCHE came to save her life.From that moment on, as one near-death situation pours into another, Quinn is constantly torn between feeling grateful for the safety of his presence and the almost desperate urge to claw his eyes out. Finding in Arnaud an equally strong mind, not used to backing down or taking orders, Quinn soon finds herself infuriated whenever she lays eyes on him.Not even when more and more supernaturals come pouring into Crescent Rock and dark secrets are dragged into the light of day are they able to set aside their differences.
